Bioprospecting in Antarctica - UNU-IAS - United Nations University

The Institute of Advanced Studies of United
Nations University (UNU-IAS) was inaugurated
in April 1996. We conduct research, postgraduate
education, and capacity development, both
in-house and in cooperation with an interactive
network of academic institutions and
international organisations.
The Institute's research concentrates on
exploring the key catalysts and drivers of
sustainable development which often depend
on our capacity to harmonize, if not optimise,
the interaction between societal and natural
systems. This includes the development and
use of new technologies, information, and
biotechnology; major trends and pressures such
as urbanisation, regionalisation, and globalisation;
as well as the exploration of integrated
approaches to policy-making, decision making
and environmental governance.
