The UNITWIN/UNESCO Chairs Program team is pleased to announce the opening of the call for proposals for the UNESCO Participation Program 2026–2027. This program supports national, subregional, regional, and international projects aligned with the Program and Budget 2026–2027 (43 C/5), with grants ranging from US$26,000 to US$38,000.

UNESCO Chair holders and UNITWIN network coordinators are encouraged to broaden their partnerships, particularly with other Chairs and UNITWIN networks, and to submit projects with a regional or global dimension.

Important: proposals must be submitted via your country’s National Commission for UNESCO and submitted online by February 27, 2026.

Responses and initial approvals will be announced starting in July 2026, and projects approved for financial contributions for the 2026–2027 biennium must be implemented by December 31, 2027, at the latest.
