The International Forum on Diplomatic Training (IFDT) was established in 1972, as a yearly meeting of deans and directors of diplomatic academies and institutes of international relations, at the Diplomatic Academy in Vienna. The Forum is an informal gathering of deans and directors devoted to the discussion of issues of modern diplomacy and trends in diplomatic education. The 38th meeting was held in September 2010 in Malta, hosted by Diplo and MEDAC.
