An institution for the diplomatic class.
The Lincoln Institute of Diplomacy and International Relations exists to elevate the practice of diplomacy through rigorous executive education, applied research, and a global community of practitioners.
To prepare leaders for the world as it is — and as it must become.
We train senior professionals to operate with skill, integrity, and judgement across the institutions that shape international order. Our graduates serve in foreign ministries, missions, multilateral organisations, civil society, and global enterprises.
A diplomatic profession that is global, accessible, and accountable.
We believe diplomatic excellence should not be the privilege of a few. Through D-Class, our online executive campus, we extend the reach of world-class diplomatic education to leaders wherever they serve.
Guided by practitioners.
The Institute is led by a board and academic council drawn from the diplomatic, academic, and policy communities of Africa, Europe, and the Americas.
