01 / About
The Future Diplomats Forum 2027 (FDF 2027) is a four-day international conference hosted by HISA – Headway Institute of Strategic Alliance in Geneva, Switzerland, from February 10–13, 2027. The Forum offers 250 scholarship seats, including 50 fully funded scholarships, welcoming students, graduates, young professionals, aspiring diplomats, policy advocates, and youth leaders from all nationalities. Following the success of its inaugural edition in Washington, D.C., FDF 2027 brings participants to the world’s leading hub of diplomacy and international cooperation.
Throughout the Forum, delegates will engage in keynote sessions, workshops, diplomatic simulations, panel discussions, institutional visits, and networking with representatives of Geneva-based international organizations. For those seeking a fully funded conference in Europe, a diplomacy program with visa support, or an opportunity with no IELTS requirement, FDF 2027 provides an exceptional platform to develop global leadership while full scholarship recipients receive airfare, accommodation, visa support, and meals.
02 / Location
There is no better classroom for a future diplomat than Geneva. This is the city where the Geneva Conventions were signed, where global trade rules are negotiated at the WTO, where humanitarian law is upheld, and where the UN’s European headquarters convenes nations daily.
Understand how multilateral negotiations, human rights mechanisms, and international agencies operate.
See how global trade diplomacy and economic policy are negotiated at the highest level.
The city hosts 40+ international organizations and over 180 permanent missions, giving delegates unmatched networking density.
Walk the same streets as ambassadors, negotiators, and humanitarian leaders while building your own international network of 250+ peers from every continent.
The first edition took delegates inside the institutions of American democracy in Washington, D.C. The second edition raises the bar: from the capital of one nation to the capital of multilateralism itself.
