Cooperation with academic institutions

The WTO called for tenders for the next phase of the WTO Chairs Programme which will begin in 2014. The programme’s annual conference was held and Chairs took part in the Global Review of the Aid for Trade initiative. The WTO’s cooperation with academic institutions in 2013 focused on consolidating projects implemented by universities participating in the Chairs Programme. Twenty-nine activities were carried out during 2013, with the aim of helping academic institutions implement specific projects and initiatives.
