The HUG, the leading university hospital in Switzerland, includes 10 hospitals and 30 health care facilities. They fulfill their mission of treatment, teaching and research guided by four values: quality, service, innovation and responsibility. They are an international reference for excellence in cutting-edge medicine.
They guarantee access for everyone to the best care and provide each patient with care that's at the leading edge of knowledge.
They include 10 clinical, medical-technical and academic departments, 7 centers of excellence as well as 2 translational research laboratories. The university Hospitals of Geneva have a capacity of around 2'100 beds, provide more than a million ambulatory services per year and employ almost 13'000 staff.
The Academy of Geneva was officially founded in 1559 by two eminent Reformers, Jean Calvin and Théodore de Bèze, and was then renamed University of Geneva (UNIGE) in 1873. For the last four and a half centuries, the Alma mater has attracted students and researchers to Geneva from all over the world.
Composed of nine faculties, – Science, Medicine, Humanities, Economics and Management, Social Sciences, Law, Theology, Psychology and Educational Sciences, and Translation and Interpreting –, the UNIGE also boasts several interfaculty centres, and offers a programme in Environmental Studies.
Located at the heart of international Geneva, the UNIGE has woven a vast network with International and non-governmental organisations. These connections facilitate collaborations between scientists and researchers, including from the CERN (European Organisation for Nuclear Research), the UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme), and the WMO (World Meteorological Organisation).
L'Etat de Genève est le plus grand employeur du canton.
L'administration publique cantonale genevoise compte 19’674 collaborateurs et collaboratrices occupant 18’240,1 postes de travail (chiffres à fin 2023)
Le membre du personnel de l'Etat se met au service de l'intérêt général et non d'intérêts particuliers ou sectoriels. Sa motivation diffère de celle qui est attendue des collaborateurs du secteur privé. Elle constitue le sens du service public.
Les principes qui régissent son activité sont les suivants :
La légalité - agir dans le respect des lois.
L'égalité - traiter de façon équivalente chaque administré.
La transparence - informer le public des normes qui fondent les actes et décisions administratives
La proportionnalité - limiter son action à ce qui est nécessaire pour atteindre les objectifs définis.
Ces principes accompagnent une valeur fondamentale : le respect de la personne. Par ailleurs, chaque membre du personnel est tenu à des devoirs de fonction.
