The United Nations Academic Impact (UNAI) initiative—mandated by
the United Nations General Assembly—aligns institutions of higher
learning with the Organization in supporting and contributing, through
research and education, to the realization of United Nations goals.
These goals include the promotion and protection of human rights,
access to education, sustainability and conflict resolution, among
others. What binds such institutions and the United Nations together in
Academic Impact is dedication to a shared culture of intellectual social
responsibility.
