BRIDGES International Programme Office

The IPO is the BRIDGES Directorate’s administrative office. The IPO’s main function is to liaise on a regular basis with the UNESCO-MOST Secretariat in Paris and to keep the public informed of the work of BRIDGES.

Other duties include the gathering and preparation of background materials required by MOST, supporting the organisation of the General Assembly, the General Council, conferences and events with MOST and to collect, collate and distribute information across the Coalition, the Hubs and to UNESCO.

The Directorate and the IPO work closely together. The IPO is supported by Senior Administrators, a Communications Manager and Research and Policy Officers.
