  • Ebola: Why Are We Still Struggling to Stop It?

    Ebola: Why Are We Still Struggling to Stop It?
    Sep 15 2026
    The Democratic Republic of the Congo is facing its 17th Ebola outbreak, once again putting communities and health systems under immense pressure. But this latest outbreak is unfolding in an especially challenging context — amid conflict and displacement, persistent mistrust of health authorities, and with a strain of the virus for which there is no specifically licensed vaccine. More than a decade after the devastating West African Ebola epidemic, how much better prepared are we to respond? And what does the continuing struggle to contain Ebola tell us about global health priorities, inequalities and the importance of investing in resilient health systems? Our guest for this episode is Vinh-Kim Nguyen, Director of Global Health specialisation of the MINT programme, and Professor of Anthropology and Sociology here at the Geneva Graduate Institute

  • Beyond the Ceasefire: Iran, the United States, and a Changing Middle East

    Beyond the Ceasefire: Iran, the United States, and a Changing Middle East
    Jun 29 2026
    The recent confrontation between Iran, the United States, and Israel has once again placed the Middle East at the centre of global attention. While a fragile ceasefire may have eased immediate tensions, fundamental questions remain about the future of the region, the balance of power, and the risk of further escalation. In this episode, we take a step back to examine the historical roots of the Iran–US rivalry, explore how the nature of conflict in the Middle East is evolving, assess the role of regional actors, and discuss what the latest developments mean for Iran, its people, and the broader geopolitical landscape. Our guest for this episode is Cyrus Schayegh, Professor of International History and Politics at the Institute and Chair of the department.

  • Iran, Europe, and the Economic Cost of Conflict

    Iran, Europe, and the Economic Cost of Conflict
    Jun 10 2026
    Conflict in the Middle East has implications that extend far beyond the region itself. For Europe, tensions involving Iran could affect energy markets, international trade, inflation, financial stability, and even the continent's environmental ambitions. Such a conflict could also reshape geopolitical alliances and force governments to reconsider long-standing economic and security dependencies. In this episode of What Matters Today, we explore the potential economic, political, and environmental consequences of a conflict with Iran for Europe. Our guest for this episode is Dominic Rohner, Professor of International Economics here at the Geneva Graduate Institute and a Faculty Associate at the Institute’s Centre on Conflict, Development and Peacebuilding.
