Engaging the Next Generation of Talent

Tuesday 25 November, 2025

Collaboration between NGOs and academic institutions

At a time when many NGOs are facing financial constraints and limited human resources, Geneva’s universities offer a rich concentration of young talent and potential for innovation.

Beyond internships, today’s students and university programs increasingly offer opportunities for hands-on collaboration that enable organizations to test ideas, gain analytical support and connect with new generations of change-makers.
