The Geneva Centre
for Security Policy (GCSP)
About
The Geneva Centre for Security Policy (GCSP) is an international foundation focusing on executive education that facilitates collaboration in support of peace, security and international cooperation.
Established by the Swiss Confederation in 1995, the Centre equips a diverse range of experts, leaders and practitioners with the knowledge, skills and community they need to help their organisations thrive in today’s ever-changing security landscape.
The context
Security and geopolitical issues are becoming more complex, multi-faceted and unpredictable. This new world requires a smarter, collective approach between the public, non-profit and private sectors to help solve them.
Our role
The objective of the GCSP is to bring people from every industry and nation together so they can learn, exchange ideas and find sustained opportunities in these uncertain times.
What we deliver
The GCSP provides executive education, dialogue
opportunities, policy analysis and forward-thinking solutions to an array of individuals and institutions.
Each year we host 1,100 course participants, including government officials (diplomats, military, etc.), international organisations, NGOs, business leaders, and politicians, of more than 165 nationalities.
We foster strategic, innovative and critical thinking in all our activities, and our principles of impartiality, independence and inclusiveness make us a sought-after venue for track 1.5 and 2.0 diplomacy.
What sets us apart
We always follow ‘The GCSP Way’. It’s a way of working that encapsulates our belief in the power of collective wisdom and creativity and our commitment to more progressive tools and methodologies.
We have an ever-growing alumni community of over 6,000 international professionals that is vibrant, global and known for its policy influence.
Furthermore, our strategic location at the Maisondelapaix places us at the heart of Geneva’s globally-renowned centre of international expertise.
