The first GEM-STONES Summer School ‘Critical Perspectives on Globalization’ will take place at the Global Studies Institute of University of Geneva (CH), on 3rd – 7th July 2017. The 2017 GEM-STONES Summer School will take place at the Global Studies Institute of the University of Geneva. This will allow the participants to benefit from the exceptional density of Geneva-based international institutions, among others the UN European Headquarter, the WTO, and the WEF. Major players in these institutions will also participate to the Summer School by delivering keynote addresses and participating in round-tables. The participants will also be taken to a visit to CERN, where beyond our globe, time and space melt.
