UNESCO Cousteau Ecotechnie Chair

The UNESCO Cousteau Ecotechnie Programme is an international initiative of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization to promote interdisciplinary education, research and policy-making in the field of the environment and development.

UCEP's mission is to reduce barriers to change through new incentives and by providing future decision- and policy-makers with integrated, multidisciplinary education, training and research. It is a joint effort of the Man and the Biosphere Programme and the Cousteau Society.

Among its main activities is the designation of UNESCO-Cousteau Ecotechnie Chairs at universities and research institutions around the world.
