The IDEAS programme of the Vice Rectorate in Europe of the United Nations University (UNU-ViE) plays a strategic role in the institutional development of UNU and its partners. IDEAS initiates and supports new research and graduate education activities on a global scale and stimulates the establishment of new UNU institutes and partnerships. Identification of new networks and the support of associated institutions and partnerships, joint projects and operational units in the arena of higher education and research is yet another focus within Europe, Africa, South-East Asia and the Commonwealth of Independent States.

In line with the UNU strategic plan, the Vice Rectorate in Europe assists in the establishment of UNU “Twin” institutes in developing and emerging countries in accordance with UNU’s mission to strengthen institutional and individual capacities and thereby actively contributes to the Africa Roadmap strategy.
