On 26 September 2025, we hosted the Executive Education Graduation Ceremony at Villa Barton, celebrating the achievements of our graduates across five programmes: Executive Certificate in Advocacy and International Public Affairs, Executive Certificate in Nature-Positive Economy, Executive Diploma in Diplomacy, Negotiation and Policy, Executive Master in International Relations and Executive Master in International Strategy and Leadership.

The evening was full of inspiring moments, highlighted by the keynote address from Tadesse Abraham, professional athlete and Swiss marathon record-holder. He shared his journey of resilience, discipline, and striving for excellence, an inspiration for all graduates.

The ceremony also featured a heartfelt alumni testimonial from Paulyne Wairimu Kamau, who recently obtained her Executive Master in International Relations, sharing her transformative learning experience. We also had the pleasure of welcoming Prof. Gilles Carbonnier, the newly appointed Co-Director of Executive Education, who expertly guided the ceremony.

A special thank you to the Executive Education team and professors for their dedication to supporting our learners throughout their journey.

We congratulate all graduates and look forward to seeing them apply their knowledge and leadership to create meaningful impact around the world.

See you again soon at the Institute!
