U   UNESCO Chairs

UNESCO Chairs programme was launched in 1992 in accordance with a resolution adopted by the General Conference of that organization at its 26th session in 1991. This programme operates through the establishment of UNESCO Chairs which cover training, research and exchange of academics and offer a platform for information sharing in all major fields.

The information including terms and conditions of establishing chairs is disseminated to the Public Sector Universities of Pakistan by HEC and proposals regarding the establishment of these chairs are also sought from the Universities by HEC. The proposals once approved by the Competent Authority are forwarded to PNCU for final consideration and onward transmission to UNESCO.
