How to Apply for a UNITWIN Network or UNESCO Chair
The role of the UK National Commission, as directed by UNESCO, is to consider and evaluate proposals for the establishment of new UNESCO Chairs in the UK and to select a small number of high quality proposals each year to put forward to UNESCO for consideration. In addition, the UK National Commission also considers and evaluates proposals for the establishment of new UNITWIN Networks led by UK institutions and selects high quality proposals to give its endorsement for UNESCO’s consideration.
New proposals are considered annually. Interested eligible institutions in the UK must prepare and submit an outline proposal to the UK National Commission for UNESCO before the UK deadline of 15 December 2009. All outline proposals will be evaluated by the UK National Commission for UNESCO and selected institutions will then be invited to submit a full detailed proposal.
Prospective applicants should read the UK National Commission’s Guidance Note on establishing a UNESCO Chair or UNITWIN Network (available for download in the documents sidebar) for further information on the application process.
