Through continuing education (à la carte, or leading to diplomas or qualifications), it meets the needs for professional reorientation, deepening of knowledge, and acquisition of new skills. The University also offers several MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) and public lectures* that echo the courses taught and the research carried at UNIGE. The Geneva Summer Schools encourage the sharing of knowledge on topics of worldwide importance by bringing together individuals from all over the professional, academic, and geographic map.
