UNESCO Chairs
Launched in 1992, the UNITWIN/UNESCO Chairs
Programme promotes international inter-university
cooperation and networking to enhance institutional
capacities through knowledge sharing and collaborative
work.
The Programme supports the establishment of UNESCO
Chairs and UNITWIN Networks in key priority areas related
to UNESCO’s fields of competence – i.e. in education, the
natural and social sciences, culture and communication.

now facing in a rapidly climate
changing world, suggest that no
one individual, group or
organization has all the
necessary skills or competences
either to comprehensively
understand the challenges
involved or to design appropriate
solutions."
