UIA partners

 
The UIA is a UNESCO partner NGO, and has had a consultative status relationship with UNESCO since 1952.
The UIA has enjoyed consultative status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations since 1951. Under Council Resolution 334 B (XI), ECOSOC decided to continue cooperation with the UIA in the preparation of the Yearbook of International Organizations. A French edition was produced with the assistance of the Agence pour la coopération culturelle et technique (ACCT) in 1980.
Since 1 January 2011, the Yearbook of International Organizations is published by Brill. Founded in 1683, Brill is an established scholarly publishing house with a strong international focus. It has a reputation for publishing works of excellent quality and academic distinction.
As of January 2010 the UIA expanded its services by partnering with the International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA). Subscribers to ICCA´s online database of international association events can now benefit from 4,500 of UIA´s 62,000 profiles of international associations. The UIA profiles are a significant augmentation to the information available to ICCA subscribers. For the UIA, this partnership is a further step in fulfilling its purpose to facilitate the evolution and work of international civil society associations.
In partnership with Creative Connection, the UIA has added Keynote Listening to its portfolio of services, since 2007.  Keynote Listening is an illustrated record of the evolution of a meeting capturing its essence and energy, its story, content and atmosphere in a quick and memorable manner so participants understand and retain the proceedings as it happens.
In 2009, the UIA and the Mundaneum began collaborating on projects to acknowledge and commemorate their common founders, Paul Otlet and Henri La Fontaine.
Since 2008, the UIA has provided articles for Headquarters magazine. Moreover, an Academic Session is organized each year, usually in October, to present the UIA International Meetings Statistics and trends in international associations meetings and conferences. Consult UIA articles.
Special relations have been established with the Federation of European and International Associations Established in Belgium (FAIB).
Special relations have been established with the Federation of Semi-Official and Private International Institutions established in Geneva (FIIG).
The UIA collaborates with CIVICUS by providing data from the Statistics, Visualizations and Patterns volume (Volume 5) of the Yearbook of International Organizations which is used in the Civil Society Index (CSI). In return, CIVICUS kindly offers the UIA a copy of the "Global Survey of the State of Civil Society".
UIA cooperates and exchanges with the European Society of Association Executives. The ESAE supports and represents association managers in Europe. It provides an international framework for round tables, seminars, and events throughout the year, highlighted by keynote speakers from senior levels in industry, government and association management.
