UNIGE Career Forum 2026

Economics & Management · International Relations : Employers’ Area

The Career Center of the University of Geneva is organizing the Economics & International Relations Forum, a joint event bringing together students and recent graduates from the Geneva School of Economics and Management and the Global Studies Institute. This forum offers a unique opportunity to meet, network, and engage with more than 2,800 students in economics, management, finance, international relations, and global studies, who are eager to explore various career paths, sectors, and professional opportunities. 

The next edition of the Economics & International Relations Forum will take place on Friday, 6 March 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Uni Mail. You will have the opportunity to build close connections with students and to showcase your institution, roles, and opportunities. 
Ahead of the event, we offer preparation workshops to help students approach the Forum with a strong networking mindset. On the day of the event, we also organize an interactive game designed to encourage students to initiate thoughtful, information-driven conversations.

The students attending the GSEM-GSI Forum come from programmes that address today's major economic, managerial, societal and international issues. Their training develops analytical skills, an understanding of global and regional dynamics, and the ability to work on complex issues.

Studies at GSEM, GSI… and then what?

Graduates from our faculties go on to pursue a wide range of careers, both in Switzerland and internationally. The career pathways of GSEM and GSI graduates illustrate the diversity of trajectories available, spanning sectors such as services, international cooperation, finance, research, public administration, communication, health, and the environment.
