Some services drastically limited due to the migration of the library catalogue (Oct. 23 – Dec. 7)

~ The Librarians ~ 1 Comment

On December 7 2020, the Institute’s Library will join the new network of the Swiss scientific and academic libraries, the Swiss Library Service Plateform (SLSP), along with more than 470 other libraries. From this date on, our print collections and electronic resources to which we subscribe will only be accessible through the search engine of this new platform: swisscovery. The current RERO Explore will be disabled.

Between October 23 and December 7, 30 million bibliographic references will migrate to the new platform. This transition phase will result in a limitation of some services such as requests for:

  • Interlibrary loans
  • New acquisition suggestions

Loans and returns will still be possible. The RERO Explore catalogue will remain available during that time.

The Library is aware of the impact these limitations may have on your academic activities during this transition period and apologises for the inconvenience these may cause.

Let’s Put it on the Table, ep. 1: Where the Idea Was Born

~ Geneva Intl. ~ Leave a comment

Introducing a new podcast series by the Macro-Development Research Initiative, from the Graduate Institute in Geneva. “Let’s put it on the table” will discuss development-related topics that are not receiving enough attention.

Our guest for this episode is Alejandro Castro, one of the founding members of Club Macro, the Club de Macroeconomía UCV, the student analysis group of macroeconomic policy at Universidad Central de Venezuela. Club Macro was the seed that later shaped the idea for our international initiative: The Macro-Development Research Initiative.

Subscribe to the series on Spotify for more episodes and follow the initiative on social media as @The_MDRI on Twitter and Instagram. 

Featuring: Clara Danbakli and Manuel Leon, with Michelle Olguin
Guest: Alejandro Castro

Let’s make a talk show!

Geneva Intl. is always looking for new talent, and a couple of weeks ago we found it among the students at the Graduate Institute. During our welcome day event we put all of these people in front of a microphone and asked them to make a talk show from scratch. Here’s the result! 

If you too would like to take part in this initiative, email us at Gisa.podcast@graduateinstitute.ch and tell us what you’d like to do.
