The Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies (French: Institut de hautes études internationales et du développement, abbreviated IHEID), also known as the Geneva Graduate Institute, is a public-private graduate-level university located in Geneva, Switzerland.[4][5][6]

The institution counts one UN secretary-general (Kofi Annan), seven Nobel Prize recipients, one Pulitzer Prize winner, and numerous ambassadors, foreign ministers, and heads of state among its alumni and faculty.[7] Founded by two senior League of Nations officials,[8] the Graduate Institute maintains strong links with that international organisation's successor, the United Nations,[9] and many alumni have gone on to work at UN agencies.
