LUC agreement with UN University for Peace

LUC The Hague is delighted and proud to announce the completion of an agreement with UPEACE and the Alliance for Peace.  Recognizing the synergies between the missions of the institutions, this agreement will enable each party to develop new collaborative teaching and research capacities in the area of Peace & Conflict Studies.

:

On 26 June 2012, the dean of LUC The Hague, the rector of the UN-mandated University for Peace (UPEACE), and the chairman of the UPEACE Alliance signed a Memorandum of Understanding that allows for the joint development of educational programmes.  In the first instance, the agreement enables LUC to offer a new track in Peace & Conflict Studies in its innovative BA programme, in cooperation with the new UPEACE Centre in The Hague, based in the Peace Palace.

Signing the MoU in LUC's boardroom

In the future, the main UPEACE campus in Costa Rica and LUC The Hague will also work towards the development of collaborative programmes at the graduate level.  The two institutions signed a separate agreement with that intent, and we should look forward to seeing developments in this area soon.
