The United Nations University has announced its call for applications for new Regional Centres of Expertise on Education for Sustainable Development (RCE).

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. 

Organisations that are interested in initiating the RCE process and applying to become an RCE are requested to submit an application and an application summary by 30 April, 2019 (11:59pm JST) to UNU-IAS. Below is the schedule for RCE application procedures this year. Please note that this schedule may be subject to change.
