UIA Academic Forum

The Union of International Associations has founded the UIA Academic Forum to provide the opportunity for discussion of all aspects of international organization activities, their history and future prospects. Research based on UIA data, or not, may be presented, and exchanges on developments in associations and their work are encouraged.

It will welcome participants from academic institutions, intergovernmental, governmental and non-governmental organizations, and anyone with an interest in the topics to be debated.
