The Graduate Institute of Geneva has a great network of alumni, with a significant number based in East Asia and working in a variety of sectors and industries. These alumni would be our student body’s best channel to get to know East Asia and best connect to the ground, from a practical perspective. Supported by the Alumni Office and Career Services of IHEID, this “Inspire Students” session, as part of a series of monthly thematic alumni roundtables, spotlights the region of East Asia.

Goals

• To connect attendees and IHEID alumni around
shared career interests in East Asia;
• To share experiences in working within different
sectors in East Asia (e.g. public sector, private sector, IGOs and NGOs, academia, etc.);
• To gain knowledge about career opportunities in East Asia today;
• To gain insights into the “East Asia experience” of
alumni from different backgrounds.
