30th anniversary of the UNITWIN/UNESCO Chairs Programme: Transforming knowledge for just and sustainable futures
© UNESCO UNESCO is convening a 30th anniversary celebration of the UNITWIN/UNESCO Chairs Programme This anniversary conference will celebrate the accomplishments over the last three decades and advance authentic interdisciplinary dialogues and the cross-sectoral mobilization needed to confront complex challenges on the horizon. Dedicated to the theme of “Transforming knowledge for just and sustainable futures”, the two-day event is grounded in the spirit of scientific, moral, intellectual, and academic solidarity.
