EUCLID (Euclid University / Pôle Universitaire Euclide) is a fully online, distance-learning intergovernmental university and does not operate like a traditional brick-and-mortar institution. It maintains two formal headquarters and several international offices/facilities, but it has no conventional physical campuses.
Formal Headquarters
EUCLID’s two official headquarters were established under intergovernmental agreements with the host states:
- Bangui, Central African Republic — Historic Headquarters (located at the ENAM Campus, Avenue de France, Quartier Sica Saidou).
- Banjul (Greater Banjul / Brusubi area), Republic of The Gambia — Current operational, Commonwealth, and ECOWAS Headquarters.
These headquarters serve administrative, diplomatic, and coordination purposes for the university’s Participating States.
International Liaison Offices and Facilities
In addition to the two headquarters, EUCLID maintains a network of specialized international offices and facilities:
- Liaison Office in Washington, D.C. (serving diplomatic missions in Washington DC and US-based staff).
- Permanent Representative Office to the United Nations in New York (liaison to the United Nations system and Permanent Missions)
- Joint liaison office with EULER at the World Trade Center (WTC) in Amsterdam.
- Joint International Seminar and Conference facility at the Château de l’Hermitage in France.
Physical Campuses and Residency Requirements
All degree programs are delivered 100% online and asynchronously, making them accessible to working professionals worldwide.
There is no residency requirement for any academic program. Students can complete their master’s or PhD degrees entirely from their home country without ever traveling.
However, students and alumni have the optional opportunity to attend in-person international seminars, workshops, or convocations. These events are occasionally organized at one of the headquarters or at the Château de l’Hermitage in France—often held on the sidelines of major institutional events such as official convocations.
In summary, EUCLID combines global administrative presence through its two headquarters and specialized offices with a fully flexible, non-residential online model—true to its mission as a treaty-based institution serving international civil servants and diplomats around the world.
