UNU-OP
Encyclopedia
The United Nations University Office in Paris (UNU-OP) is based at UNESCO
and serves as academic interface between the United Nations University (UNU)
and its Institutes and UNESCO and its Permanent Delegations. UNU-OP also develops contacts between UNU and other Paris-based international organisations such as OECD as well with French academia.
The aim of the UNU Office in Paris is to make UNU a stakeholder and a full-fledged partner of the UNESCO and OECD systems and the diplomatic environment in Paris.
The Office seeks to strengthen existing cooperation and to explore potential joint projects in areas of mutual interest to the different organisations.
Being based at UNESCO, part of its mandate is also to heighten the visibility of the UNU by showcasing its recent work within UNESCO in order to stimulate mutual collaboration between the two institutions.
To this end, the UNU Office in Paris organises public events aimed at presenting UNU’s activities. It represents UNU at meetings of UNESCO, particularly the spring session of the Executive Board and the General Conference, major world conferences (such as higher education, science, and sustainable education) as well as more informal meetings.
