The European Graduate School (EGS) is a private graduate school that operates in two locations: Saas-Fee, Switzerland, and Valletta, Malta.

History

It was founded in 1994 in Saas-Fee, Switzerland by the Swiss scientist, artist, and therapist, Paolo Knill.[2] [3] It was co-founded by the Swiss Canton of Valais, which is represented in its board.[4]

The school initially offered programs in Expressive Arts Therapy, as part of a broader initiative to develop a network of training institutes in Expressive Arts Therapy.[5] [6] A division of Media and Communication (later renamed Philosophy, Art and Critical Thought) was established in 1998 by Wolfgang Schirmacher.[7] [8]

EGS is licensed as a university in Malta[9] and is recognized in the Swiss canton where it operates,[10] but is not recognized by the Swiss University Conference, the main regulatory body for universities in Switzerland.[11]

Teaching is mostly remote, with required attendance for short periods at the school; ad hoc meetings in various cities also take place.[12]

Notable faculty members have included Giorgio Agamben,[13] Chantal Akerman,[14] Pierre Alféri[15] Judith Butler,[16] Achille Mbembe,[16] Avital Ronell,[16] and Sandy Stone.[17]

Notable alumni and attendees have included Lara Khaldi,[18] John Maus,[19] Gael García Bernal,[20] Ariana Reines,[21] Micah White,[22] Pablo Iglesias Turrión,[23] [24] Bruce Barber[25] and Duane Rousselle.
