Background and faculties

After World War II, a new organization emerged with the objective of building a culture of peace and preventing the outbreak of another World War. Nowadays and with 194 Members and 12 Associate Members, The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) stands on the frontline of international cooperation, in coordination with other agencies of the United Nations. UNESCO uses education, science, culture, communication and information to strengthen the intellectual and moral solidarity of humankind in order to bring out the best of humanity. In addition, UNESCO's programmes work towards the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals defined in the 2030 Agenda.

With the objective of improving the human condition, through fostering education, science and culture as well as highlighting the key role of peace,  the UNESCO is capable of:

  • Develop and implement strategies, programs, and projects in collaboration with national authorities and global partners;

  • Boost research and promote international scientific cooperation, focusing on the development of innovative technologies;

  • Assist governments in adopting international standards and managing programs that facilitate the global exchange of knowledge and best practices;

  • Advise and provide technical assistance to member states on the correct use of emerging technologies;

  • Provide guidance and assistance to encourage investments in science, technology, and innovations, as well as in the training of education professionals;

  • Support the restoration and preservation of cultural heritage and institutions in post-conflict and post-disaster scenarios.
