UNESCO, a specialized agency of the United Nations, has been pursuing a mission of dialogue and cooperation since it was founded in 1945. It covers four major fields: education, science, culture and communication. Its aim is to build peace in the world through knowledge, social progress, exchange and mutual understanding among peoples.

The World Heritage Centre is part of UNESCO. If you’re interested in working at UNESCO or the World Heritage Centre, you can see what opportunities are available by consulting the Employment section of the UNESCO website, find out how to apply, and learn about the recruitment process.
