In its mission to promote the development of the national higher education systems of the member states and their institutions, UNESCO IESALC contributes to the development of capacities with training programs aimed at the analysis and implementation of better public and institutional policies.

For this end, the international institute makes the IESALC Campus available to the entire education community, and develops awareness-raising and training materials and programs for governments and parliaments, university institutions, researchers, and students, among others.

The IESALC Campus is a digital environment that allows leveraging the Institute’s programs and priorities from an academic perspective, favoring knowledge networks and the exchange of good practices through collaborative work for the development of the region, and by promoting digital credentials.
