WTO Chairs Programme expands academic network to under-represented regions

The WTO has expanded the WTO Chairs Programme to include five new academic institutions located in previously under-represented regions. The WTO members concerned are the Dominican Republic, Nigeria, Qatar, Togo and Vanuatu. The objective is to improve diversity and inclusivity in the programme, with the aim of fostering further research on trade issues in developing and least-developed WTO members and observers.
