UNESCO IESALC (International Institute for Higher Education in Latin America and the Caribbean)

UNESCO IESALC, based in Caracas, Venezuela, is the sole specialized institute of the United Nations system with the mission to contribute to the improvement of higher education in member States.

IAU and IESALC have cooperated together for many years. Most recently, in May 2020, both organisations signed an agreement to plan a series of joint activities in particular in Latin America and the Caribbean. UNESCO IESALC and the IAU will cooperate on the publication of regional reports drawing on IAU’s global surveys in critical areas such as the contribution of higher education to the Sustainable Development Goals, the digitalization of higher education, the internationalization of higher education, and the impact of COVID-19 on higher education.
