United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization
UNITWIN/UNESCO Chairs Programme
Deadline: April 30, 2016
OSP Deadline: April 22, 2016
Award Amount: the overall success of the Program depends on financial and in-kind support. UNESCO, not being a funding agency, cannot be a major donor.

The UNESCO program serves as a means of building the capacities of higher education and research institutions through the exchange of knowledge and sharing, in a spirit of international solidarity. The program covers training, research and exchange of academics and offers a platform for information sharing in all fields. The majority of projects are interdisciplinary.
Because of the nature and flexibility of the Chairs Program, universities can respond more readily and with greater autonomy to the demands for new learning and research in a world undergoing rapid economic, social and technological change.
