Cooperation with academic institutions

摘要

During 2011, the WTO continued to collaborate with academic institutions from developing and least-developed countries (LDCs) and to support projects aimed at strengthening curriculum development, teaching, research and outreach. Through this cooperation, the WTO aims to help these institutions contribute to their country's participation in the multilateral trading system. Support was provided through the WTO Chairs Programme and the Academic Support Programme. Singapore's National University became the latest institution to join the Chairs Programme.
