The UNU System
The University comprises UNU Centre in Tokyo and a worldwide network of Research and Training Centres and Programmes assisted by numerous associated and cooperating institutions.
These core units work in collaboration with each other as well as with a broader network of several designated UNU Assocaited Institutions and hundreds of cooperating insitutions and individual scholars and researchers worldwide.
RTC/Ps
UNU Research and Training Centres/Programmes span an entire world of critical issues facing humanity today.
The 'programme space' within which UNU operates is defined by three variables:
- the major processes that are profoundly changing our world
- the actors that are effecting these changes
- and the topics and themes most relevant to UNU's mission
Within this programme space, our activities are clustered into two broad programme areas — Peace and Governance, and Environment and Development — and further focused within five thematic areas: Peace and Security; Good Governance; Development and Poverty Reduction; Environment and Sustainability; and Science, Technology and Society.
