TWAS & UNESCO

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) is responsible for the administration of TWAS finance and staff, based on an agreement between the two organizations and the Italian government which provides the Academy with its core funding. TWAS collaborates closely with UNESCO's Natural Sciences Sector. With ICSU and UNU/IAS, TWAS and UNESCO co-sponsor the joint visiting scientist programme. With ICGEB, TWAS and UNESCO/IBSP have recently launched a new joint project on capacity building in basic molecular biology. UNESCO also provides financial support for the TWAS associateship programme at centres of excellence in the South.
