One of the most important roles of the UIA is to serve as an information clearinghouse and research institute that promotes the visibility of international organizations worldwide. We currently offer collaboration and partnership with international associations in the form of an Organization Associate Membership.

In addition, the UIA also offers associations a range of services and support:

• UIA’s Annual Associations Round Table promotes and facilitates the work of international associations by providing training and networking opportunities.
• Publication and free delivery of UIA’s monthly e-newsletter World of Associations News, which presents topics of interest to associations and promotes their activities.
• Access to Open Yearbook, a free service of UIA's subscription-based Yearbook of International Organizations (YBIO). This includes profiles of non-profit organizations working worldwide in all fields of activity.
• Access to Open Calendar, a free service of UIA's subscription-based International Congress Calendar Online (ICCO). This includes current and future international meetings organized by non-profit organizations working worldwide in all fields of activity.
• Customized contact data delivery, which facilitates global networking between associations
