2026 Geneva Peace Week ‘Geneva meets Vienna´
The Austrian Institute for International Affairs (oiip) is proud to co-organize the 2026 Geneva Peace Week ‘Geneva meets Vienna” in Vienna on 3 June 2026, together with its principal initiator the Geneva Peacebuilding Platform – Geneva Peace Week (GPP).
Building on the enduring success of the Geneva Peace Week as a venue for enabling collective practice-oriented reflections and solutions in the field of peacebuilding, this 2026 event follows previous spin-off meetings in New York in 2023 and Addis Ababa in 2025 that sought to better connect Geneva’s ecosystem to other peacebuilding hubs.
The one-day event will bring together organizations and experts on peacebuilding—broadly defined as matters relating to conflict, peace and security—stemming from both Geneva and Vienna.
A set of public and closed-door discussions, both technical and political, will aim at fostering dialogue, mutual understanding, and cooperation across both multilateral hubs, and at highlighting the added value and complementarity of the range of stakeholders they host, as well as exploring promising opportunities and concrete paths forward to address pressing challenges amid geopolitical tensions and growing pressure on multilateralism.
