The Junior Diplomat Initiative (JDI) organisation was founded by students in the Faculty of International Relations at the University of Economics, Prague in 2011. The organisation expanded to the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies at the University of Geneva in 2013, and our newest chapter has been at Sciences Po Paris since 2015. Our objective is to create a sustainable, high-quality platform where students can apply their academic experience and engage on the front lines of diplomacy while building lasting connections in the diplomatic community.
