In doing so, UNU pays due attention to the social sciences and the humanities as well as the natural sciences. In pursuing this mission, UNU plays a variety of roles, including: functioning as a think tank for the United Nations system and for UN Member States by providing knowledge-based policy advice acting as a bridge between the United Nations and the international academic community serving as a platform for global and local dialogue and creative new ideas contributing to capacity development efforts, particularly in developing countries. Vision UNU aspires to be a world-class international research, teaching and capacity development institution that addresses the needs of present and future generations to live a life in decency, in safety, in good health and in freedom. It endeavours to provide global leadership on aspects of peace, development and sustainability — including governance, gender equality, poverty reduction, global health, climate change, natural resources, energy and new technologies — with a special emphasis on collaboration between developed and developing countries, and to serve the United Nations and its Member States with state-of-the-art research and with the accumulated knowledge in these areas. UNU seeks to be a widely recognized international graduate teaching and research institution known for: strict adherence to rigorous scientific methods and tools an emphasis on providing high-quality services and outputs a focus on issues that impact sustainability high ethical standards combined with academic freedom and autonomy (and commensurate accountability) intellectual vitality and a spirit of cooperation, collegiality and community equity and openness in access to opportunities, work and outputs strict adherence to the principles of gender balance social responsibility and environmental sustainability in its own operations. Goals The UN University (UNU) will work systematically towards the realization of its vision by setting well-defined goals and taking specific measures to achieve these goals. These university-wide goals are organized into three categories: Enhancing core activities, including research, teaching and capacity 1. development, and dissemination and sharing of knowledge Strengthening communications and outreach Renewing structures and improving quality Main activities The overarching goal of the United Nations University is to contribute to global sustainable development — that is, development that will enable present generations of humankind to live their lives in decency, safety, good health and freedom without compromising the ability of future generations to do the same. The University employs an interdisciplinary, problem-solving approach that encompasses not only the natural and physical science disciplines but also pays due attention to the insights of the social sciences and humanities. Within the constraints of its human and financial resources, the UN University focuses on those areas in which it has the potential to make a real contribution and bring “additionality” to the effort. Among the major criteria that define the UN University’s fields of study and of teaching are: the applicability and feasibility of a problem-focused, solution-oriented approach; the relevance of the topic to the work and concerns of the United Nations and/or to the challenges facing the developing world; the extent to which the nature and impact of the problem are global in scope, and the degree of urgency; the potential for achieving practical, replicable solutions and policies; and the extent of interconnectedness with other relevant issues and problems. As outlined in the United Nations University Strategic Plan 2009–2012, the activities of the UN University are focused within five interlinked, interdependent thematic clusters: Peace, security and Human Rights Human and Socioeconomic Development and Good Governance Global Health, Population and Sustainable Livelihoods Global Change and Sustainable Development Science, Technology, Innovation and Society. Within the scope of these five thematic clusters, the UN University undertakes:   1. Research and Study. Cross-cultural, interdisciplinary research focused on the needs of practitioners, the UN and its Member States, and the developing world Targeted foresight and policy studies leading to the development of policy-relevant prescriptions   2.Teaching and Capacity Development. Postgraduate-level training courses and workshops, and (from autumn 2010) master’s and doctoral degree programmes Assistance to developing and transitional countries for the enhancement of local human and institutional capacity   3. Knowledge Sharing and Transfer The delivery of relevant scientific and best-practice information, in a timely manner and in a useful and usable form, to those who most need it and can best utilize it. https://www.guninetwork.org/institutional-members Institution Region Country Typology Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Africa NIGERIA HE Institution Academy of Mobility Humanities - Konkuk University Asia and The Pacific SOUTH KOREA Research Center on HE Adekunle Ajasin University Akunaba-Akoko Africa NIGERIA HE Institution African and Malagasy Council for Higher Education Africa BURKINA FASO HE Network Al-Imam Al-Ouzai University - The Warkf of the Islamic Center for Education Arab States LEBANON HE Institution AMECYD Technical Department Latin America and Caribbean MEXICO HE Network American International University-Bangladesh Asia and The Pacific BANGLADESH HE Institution Arab Open University Arab States KUWAIT HE Institution Arizona State University North America UNITED STATES HE Institution Asociación Nacional de Abogados de Instituciones Públicas de Educación Superior (ANAIPES) Latin America and Caribbean MEXICO HE Network Assam University Asia and The Pacific INDIA HE Institution Association of Amazonian Universities Latin America and Caribbean BRAZIL HE Network Association of Indian Universities Asia and The Pacific INDIA HE Network Association of Universities Grupo Montevideo (AUGM) Latin America and Caribbean URUGUAY HE Network Autonomous University of Ciudad Juárez Latin America and Caribbean MEXICO HE Institution Autonomous University of Sinaloa North America MEXICO HE Institution Autonomous University of Yucatán Latin America and Caribbean MEXICO HE Institution Babeş-Bolyai University Europe ROMANIA HE Institution Bahir Dar University Africa ETHIOPIA HE Institution Bayero University Africa NIGERIA HE Institution x Institution Region Country Typology Belarusian State Pedagogical University named after Maxim Tank Europe BELARUS Research Center on HE Cape Breton University North America CANADA HE Institution Catholic University of Cuenca Latin America and Caribbean ECUADOR HE Institution Center for Cross Curricular Initiatives - Teacher Education for Equity and Sustainability Network (TEESNet) Europe UNITED KINGDOM Research Center on HE Center for Development Studies (CENDES) Latin America and Caribbean VENEZUELA Research Center on HE Center for Higher Education Research and Development North America CANADA Research Center on HE Center for Public Policy, and Department of Philosophy Europe POLAND UNESCO Chair in HE Center of Portuguese Language - Camoes Institute in Barcelona Europe SPAIN Other Centro Interuniversitario de Desarrollo (CINDA) Latin America and Caribbean CHILE HE Network Chalmers UNESCO chair in ESD Europe SWEDEN UNESCO Chair in HE Cheikh Anta Diop University of Dakar (UCAD) Africa SENEGAL HE Institution Chulalongkorn University Asia and The Pacific THAILAND HE Institution Colombian Association of Universities Latin America and Caribbean COLOMBIA HE Network Colombian Cooperative University Latin America and Caribbean COLOMBIA HE Institution Conference of Rectors of Spanish Universities (CRUE) Europe SPAIN HE Network Consortium for North American Higher Education Collaboration North America UNITED STATES HE Network CYD - Knowledge and Development Foundation Europe SPAIN Research Center on HE Daffodil International University Asia and The Pacific BANGLADESH HE Institution Dalhousie University North America CANADA HE Institution De La Salle Philippines Asia and The Pacific PHILIPPINES HE Network x Institution Region Country Typology Devi Ahilya University Asia and The Pacific INDIA HE Institution DuocUC Professional Institute Latin America and Caribbean CHILE HE Institution EAE Business School Europe SPAIN HE Institution Eduardo Mondlane University Africa MOZAMBIQUE HE Institution Educational and Counselling Psychology and Center for University Teaching and Learning North America CANADA Research Center on HE Escuela Normal Miguel F.
