The Affiliation between the Zimbabwe Institute of Diplomacy and Schiller International University is on cards after a meeting between Mr Vova Chikanda, the Chairperson of the Zimbabwe Institute of Diplomacy  and Professor James Brown, the Director of Schiller International University Paris Campus, on 25 May 2018 at the Z.I.D Campus.

Professor Brown was conducting a professional visit to Zimbabwe to scout for possible areas of cooperation with academic institutions in Zimbabwe and his visit to the Institute was inspired by the fact that his University offers the same programmes with the Institute, which include Diplomacy and International Relations among other contemporary disciplines. It was also as a result of a former Z.I.D Student, Ms Marvelous Makombe who is currently enrolled at the Schiller International University Paris Campus.

The affiliation will result in exchange programmes and knowledge transfer between the two Institutions.
