UNESCO, and the LiiV Center have embarked on a global partnership to advance digital innovation in anthropology. The first phase of the partnership is a four-year collaboration to unleash a global movement to identify new open-source technologies, academic programs, career opportunities and awareness raising of anthropology's power to create a more ethical, cohesive, empathetic society.

QE scholars participated in this event and as this broader initiative share many of the same goals and seeks to overcome many of the same challenges facing members of ISQE.

David Williamson Shaffer participated as a speaker in the event sharing how Quantitative Ethnography can help shape the initiatives set forth by UNESCO, and the LiiV Center.
