UNESCO has to date designated 94 institutes and centres as Category 2 under its auspices, including 49 facilities studying natural sciences.
Though not legally part of UNESCO, these establishments are associated with UNESCO through formal arrangements approved by the General Conference. They are selected upon proposal by member states, based on the strength of their specialisation in one of UNESCO’s fields of competence. Through capacity-building, knowledge sharing and research, they provide valuable and unique contributions to the implementation of UNESCO’s strategic programme objectives.
