International University Cooperation
International University Cooperation (IUC) has at its core the realization of UNESCO function as a laboratory of ideas and as a catalyst for international cooperation – complementing and giving leadership to know-how for social and economic development that underpins peace, human rights and democracy, equity and livelihoods.
Thus IUC endeavours to meet emerging challenges in an era of globalization by advancing the use of new information technologies to build capacity and increase knowledge to advance the cause of education, science and technology, social and human sciences, culture and communication.

Rooted in its function is to bridge the knowledge gap and substantially reduce the brain drain by assisting the establishment of poles of excellence in Member States.
In so doing IUC promotes intellectual cooperation through twining and other linking arrangements among institutions of higher learning and academics throughout the world to permit access, transfer and adaptation of knowledge within and across borders.
