2022 RCE Applications

The Ubuntu Alliance, in its meeting in April 2006 in Yokohama, established the Committee of Peers for RCEs. This Committee reviews applications for new RCEs and provides recommendations to UNU during the RCE acknowledgement process.
The United Nations University Institute for the Advanced Study of Sustainability (UNU-IAS) acts as Secretariat of the Ubuntu Alliance.
**Please note there will be no call for RCE applications in 2023 due to preparations for the mid-term review of the Roadmap for the RCE Community 2021–2030 and ESD for 2030 framework. Applications will open again in 2024 - please check back in early 2024 for an announcement of the next open call.
