Welcome to Our Current Research Listing
Research plays a central role in the academic identity of Webster Geneva. As an institution operating within the Swiss higher-education ecosystem, Webster views research not simply as an add-on to teaching, but as a defining component of academic quality and institutional credibility. Research activity strengthens disciplinary depth, enriches classroom practice and ensures that programs remain current with global developments. Faculty engagement in research also fosters intellectual vitality across departments, encourages cross-campus collaboration with the Webster network worldwide and positions the university as a contributor to the broader academic and policy conversations shaping Geneva’s international environment.
At the same time, research excellence directly supports Webster Geneva’s strategic priorities. When faculty produce publications, participate in international conferences and integrate inquiry-based learning into their courses, students benefit from a richer, more evidence-informed educational experience. Research output also strengthens partnerships with international organizations, think tanks, NGOs and local institutions, reinforcing Webster’s unique mission in Geneva by bridging global engagement with rigorous scholarship. In this way, a strong research culture is not only an academic expectation, but a foundational driver of Webster’s reputation, innovation capacity and long-term institutional development.
Institutional Research Statement
Embedded in a global hub of innovation and cooperation, Webster Geneva is dedicated to advancing interdisciplinary knowledge and practice by fostering impactful, comparative and cross-sectoral scholarship that enhances teaching and learning through its diverse and inclusive community, programmatic expertise and worldwide networks.
Research at Webster Geneva
The Business and Management Program investigates how organizations operate, adapt, and lead in fast-changing global markets. The goal is to produce research that advances academic knowledge and supports practitioners and policymakers in addressing real world challenges. Faculty’s mixed methods strategy, integrating qualitative insights with quantitative inquiry, provides a comprehensive understanding of managerial phenomena and strengthens the practical relevance of research findings. Geneva's concentration of multinationals, NGOs, and international organizations provides a distinctive empirical setting.

The International Relations Program examines how the international order is contested and upheld. Research advances along three axes: international security and geopolitics; global governance and multilateral institutions; and norms, law, and non-state actors. Faculty employ qualitative, quantitative, mixed methods, and interpretive approaches with comparative framing. Geneva, as host to the UN and an unparalleled network of international actors, serves as the program's living laboratory.

The Global Citizenship Program cultivates an interdisciplinary liberal arts research culture rooted in Geneva’s identity as an international, culturally multilayered city. Its curriculum brings together the humanities, the arts, and the sciences. Faculty research across these areas informs reflective teaching, experiential learning, and student-centered pedagogy, creating a program in which knowledge is tested across disciplines and returned to the classroom in meaningful ways. By bringing research back into the classroom, the GCP prepares students not simply to know more, but to think more carefully: to grapple with complexity, weigh evidence, ask better questions, and develop the ethical judgment needed to navigate an interconnected world.

Psychology and Counseling programs advance evidence-based research on contemporary mental health challenges, grounded in scientific rigor, cultural responsiveness, and social responsibility. Inquiry advances along three axes: family, relational, and developmental systems; culture, identity, and social justice; and trauma, adaptation, and healing - with cross-cutting attention to neurodiversity and psychotherapy process research. Geneva's multicultural population and humanitarian institutions provide distinctive context to research.
