IIEP is a part of UNESCO and subscribes to its main priorities

Yet the Institute enjoys a large amount of autonomy.
It has its own Governing Board, statutes, premises, 6-year Medium-Term Plan, staff and budget. It also sets its own agenda and goals.

The Governing Board

The Institute is administered by a Governing Board, consisting of twelve members chosen for their competence and sitting in a personal capacity.

The Board determines the general policy and the nature of the Institute’s activities within the framework of the general policy of UNESCO. It decides on the programme and the budget of the Institute and ensures the implementation of the activities
