University of Ulster strengthen UN ties
The University of Ulster strengthened its connection with the United Nations University (UNU) this week when the Vice-Chancellor, Professor McKenna attended the 50th meeting of the UNU Council held at the university’s headquarters in Tokyo.
Alongside INCORE Director Professor Gillian Robinson, the UU delegation briefed the UNU Council on the University of Ulster’s work in the field of conflict resolution research, much of which concentrates on issues facing societies in transition such as Northern Ireland.
INCORE is the centre for International Conflict Research at the University of Ulster, based at its Magee campus.
Professor Robinson, INCORE Director, said: “Council members were impressed by our focus and were keen to ensure we could maximise the policy impact of our work through the United Nations University with its close links to the United Nations.
“Our continuing research programme at INCORE places the Northern Ireland experience in a comparative context, and explores issues such as the management of peace processes, education in divided societies and reconstruction of societies after violent conflict."
At a special reception the Rector of UNU, Professor Van Ginkle, paid tribute to the quality of INCORE’s research and training and its relevance to UNU goals. He has established a senior working group to develop the UNU - INCORE relationship.
The Vice-Chancellor, in his address to UNU Council, also gave an overview of the University of Ulster and its strategic development plan.
