Concept
The Lake Geneva Graduate Conference (LG2C) is an annual event organized by the graduate students of the Universities of Geneva, Fribourg, Neuchâtel and Lausanne, Switzerland. LG2C is a project initiated by Alain Pe-Curto, who presented the idea to the Conférence Universitaire de Suisse Occidentale (CUSO) in Summer 2015.
The conference’s goal is to foster exchanges between graduate students from the Lake Geneva area and from elsewhere in the world. Submissions from graduate students were assessed by means of strict blind review processes in order to select approximately two submissions from the Lake Geneva area and two from elsewhere in the world.
Installments
The Lake Geneva Graduate Conference has hitherto taken place four times:
