The CEDS: continuing education for leaders in diplomacy and strategy
Created in 1986 from the École des Hautes Études Internationales, a private institution of higher learning, which has now become HEIP – École des Hautes Études Internationales et Politiques, the Centre d’Études Diplomatiques et Stratégiques (CEDS) has a dual objective:
- To enable career diplomats, consular officers and senior private sector executives to update and deepen their knowledge of international relations
- To contribute to the deepening of the knowledge of French and foreign decision-makers in charge of foreign relations and of the interests of their country or their company, on the diplomatic, economic, commercial or legal level: this is the mission of the advanced training courses organized in collaboration with the governments and the companies which request them
