The Graduate Institute and UNITAR to bring high quality executive training to a global audience through e-Learning

The Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies (Geneva, Switzerland) and UNITAR have concluded an agreement to develop and conduct two four-week e-Learning courses on “Global Economic Governance” in the second semester of 2009 and in the first semester of 2010, respectively.

 

These courses, which will be offered to a global audience through the Graduate Institute’s Executive Education Programme and will be mentored by a panel of professors of the Graduate Institute, are aimed at private sector professionals, diplomats, civil servants, NGO staff, and journalists who wish to broaden their experience and knowledge of key issues related to economic governance.

 

Course content and discussions will focus on fundamental issues of international economic exchanges, the causes and potential policy remedies to the current global financial crisis, and on the scenarios for economic multilateralism. It is hoped that this initiative will contribute to promoting sustainable growth and good governance through a better understanding of key issues of global economic governance and dialogue between the public and private sector.
