Research informing policies

Aiming to offer reliable and relevant knowledge for policy makers, the MOST phase II website explores new paths on how to disseminate information. Through its networks and documentary resources, the programme's portal serves as an on line meta-networking resource for decision-making and strategy development. It directs decision-makers immediately to policy-relevant information whether they require it on one of the themes studied within the Social and Human Sciences Sector or within one of the other UNESCO Sectors.
