About Program
UNESCO's Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC-UNESCO) strives to promote intergovernmental cooperation in order to generate knowledge about the nature and resources of the ocean and coastal areas and to apply that knowledge to management, sustainable development, marine environment protection, and decision-making processes within its Member States. The Commission also seeks to improve society’s relationship with the ocean through the development and dissemination of scientific knowledge and by educating the general public on how to respond effectively to the unprecedented environmental changes and human activities now impacting the world’s ocean.
The UNESCO Internship Programme offers you practical work in this area. Aside from helping you understand the Organization’s mandate, programmes, and main thrusts, it also enhances your academic knowledge with relevant work assignments that can help you prepare for your future career.
