UNESCO Call for Individual Consultants 2026: Join the Global Expert Roster (Multiple Sectors)
For subject-matter experts, researchers, and policy specialists seeking to apply their technical knowledge on a global stage, the UNESCO Call for Individual Consultants 2026 represents a premier opportunity. UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) has opened various calls for Expressions of Interest (EOI) and specific consultancy vacancies to populate its expert rosters for the 2026–2027 programmatic cycle.
This is not a standard employment contract; it is an invitation to join an elite network of specialists who are deployed to solve specific, high-level challenges. From preserving intangible cultural heritage in Nepal to designing competency-based education curriculums in Uzbekistan and advocating for ocean science in Paris, UNESCO consultants act as the intellectual engine of the organization.
Whether you are an academic, a freelance researcher, or a retired policy official, this opportunity allows you to lend your expertise to high-impact projects without the rigidity of a permanent staff position. UNESCO is actively seeking diverse professionals to provide technical assistance, draft policy frameworks, and implement field projects that advance peace and sustainable development.
