The European office of the Carnegie Endowment of International Peace started a series of courses of lectures on international organization and relations. In addition the Centre offered independent courses under the auspices of the Chaire Carnegie, which it established in 1925. Each year, the Chaire and invited authorities delivered a series of lectures on a subject selected in agreement with the c onsultative committee. André Tibal (University of Nancy Professor and previously Directeur of L'Institut Français at Prague) occupied the Chaire from 1925 until 1940.
