UNESCO: Call for applications UNESCO Chairs and UNITWIN Networks
The UNESCO UNITWIN network for Global Pharmacy Education Development is the first in the field of higher education for health professionals and the first for global pharmaceutical education.
The Programme, which includes UNITWIN Chairs that work with other global universities to enrich information flows in UNESCO research areas, currently has over 600 participating institutions, operating in over 100 countries.
The UNITWIN Network in Global Pharmacy Education Development (G-PhEd) will enable synchronised and powerful development in pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences education by bringing together pharmacy schools from all regions of the world with UNESCO and FIP.
The Colloquium provided an opportunity for all of the UK UNESCO Chairs and UK-led UNITWIN Networks to share collaborative work, lessons learned and good practice and to discuss the future contribution of UK UNESCO Chairs and UK-led UNITWIN Networks to this area.
There are a large number of UNESCO sites and programmes active in the UK, including 28 World Heritage Sites, eight Biosphere Reserves, three UNESCO Creative Cities, 18 UNESCO Chairs and UNITWIN Networks at UK Higher Education Institutions, and 66 UNESCO Schools, among many others.
The UNITWIN G-PhEd Network will act as a new mechanism for the work of the FIP Pharmacy Education Taskforce, which has been dedicated to developing tools and resources to help tackle challenges of academic capacity, quality assurance of educational systems and workforce competency in both high-resource and low-resource pharmacy education institutions.
In bringing together pharmacy schools and faculties from all regions of the world with UNESCO and FIP, the UNITWIN Network in Global Pharmacy Education Development (G-PhED) enables synchronised and powerful development in pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences education and improves communication for scientific innovation, healthcare outcomes, and ultimately, the attainment of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
