ADA
Created in 2008, the Assistants' Association (ADA) represents all teaching (TAs at IHEID and at joint centres with Unige, as well as ARP tutors) and research assistants, who automatically become members of the Association by virtue of their contract. ADA defends their interests, collaborates with other associations at the Institute and elsewhere while promoting exchanges between its members. ADA has observer status in the Collège des enseignants. ADA is run by an Executive Committee, elected each year during a general assembly. Since April 2022, ADA collaborates with the Syndicat Interprofessionnel des Travailleuses et Travailleurs (SIT) to advocate for better contractual conditions for its members.
