About UNITWIN

The UNITWIN Chairs and Networks Programme promotes international inter-university cooperation and networking to enhance institutional capacities through knowledge sharing and collaborative work. Through this Network, higher education and research institutions all over the globe pool their resources, both human and material, to address pressing challenges and contribute to the development of their societies and promote peace and mutual understanding.

In many instances, the UNITWIN Networks and Chairs serve as thinktanks and bridgebuilders between academia, civil society, local communities, research and policy-making. They have proven useful in informing policy decisions, establishing new teaching initiatives, generating innovation through research and contributing to the enrichment of existing university programmes while promoting cultural diversity.

The ITI/UNESCO Network for Higher Education in the Performing Arts is one of the currently 45 UNITWIN Networks established worldwide.
