About the UNITWIN / UNESCO Chairs Programme

Established in 1992, the UNITWIN / UNESCO Chairs Programme was launched with a strategic vision to develop a comprehensive system of research and training, and to advance academic collaboration across various fields. The programme builds university networks and strengthens international cooperation by transferring knowledge and exchanging expertise across borders. These partnerships are formally established through official agreements signed between the Director-General of UNESCO and the head of the host academic institution.
