The European Commission, now the European Union, established institutional relations with UNESCO (the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation) as early as 1964, with the status of an observer. In 1996, UNESCO and the European Commission concluded a framework agreement harmonising administrative and financial procedures to enhance cooperation in UNESCO’s fields of competence, which include education, culture, human and natural sciences, information society and communication. The volume of UNESCO activities carried out with financial assistance provided by this partnership has practically doubled each year since then.
