UNESCO offers higher education and research institutions a platform for peaceful and constructive dialogue as well as valuable opportunities for sharing knowledge and exchanging experience at the global level. They can benefit from UNESCO’s global outreach, visibility and reputation, as well as from its expertise in intellectual cooperation. UNESCO chairs can use the logos designed by UNESCO to demonstrate their link with the Organization. Moreover, UNESCO offers partner institutions the possibility to interact with global, regional and national policy and decision-makers and other key stakeholders in the Organization’s areas of competence. Chairs can be a leader in their respective area, and a norm setter to some extent.
