The
Mission
of UIE
UIE,
one
of six educational institutes of UNESCO, is a non-profit international
research, training, information, documentation and publishing centre on
literacy, non-formal education, adult and lifelong learning. By drawing
on its long and unique experience linking educational research, policy
and practice in these areas and by using its competence, its influence
and its resources UIE makes a special contribution in enhancing access
to learning, and improving the environment and quality of learning for
all in all regions of the world.
UIE
provides
services in its areas of competence to UNESCO’s Member States, NGOs and
grassroots and community organizations, but also to partners in civil
society
and the private sector. In doing so, the Institute works in close
collaboration
with its Paris headquarters , with UNESCO
field offices in different countries, with sister
institutes and with national and international partners.
The
Senate
(government) of the Free and Hanseatic
City of Hamburg provides the Institute with premises close to the University, in a
house protected as a historic monument.
Organizational
Structure
The
Institute
has a Governing Board consisting of 11 members,
nominated ‘intuiti personae’ by the Director-General of UNESCO. The
Board

different
regions of the world, who meet once a year to review the progress of
the
Institute’s work and plan future policy. The Institute is headed by a
Director,
appointed by the Director-General of UNESCO. About 35 people
are
employed by the Institute, including researchers, publications and
editorial
staff, library personnel and technical support staff (translators,
