The UNESCO General Conference, which takes place in Paris from the 9th to the 24th of November, will mark the organisation’s 75th anniversary. Several important decisions are expected from UNESCO’s 193 Member States, in particular on cultural heritage, on global education policy, on the ethics surrounding technology and the vital need for greater openness around scientific research.
A special ceremony will be organised and broadcast live from UNESCO’s headquarters in Paris on the 12th of November (starting at 3.30 pm), to celebrate the organisation’s 75th birthday.
