The Graduate Institute of Development Studies (French: Institut universitaire d’études du développement, IUED) was a graduate school in Geneva, Switzerland focusing on development studies. Founded in 1977,[1] it was recognized by the Swiss Federal Council as a university institution in its own right at the end of 2002.

The IUED ceases its activities in 2008 following the creation of the new Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies (IHEID),[2] the result of the merger with the Graduate Institute of International Studies (IUHEI) and the IUED.
