United Nations

"The universities that have signed a memorandum of understanding with the United Nations on cooperation in the training of language professionals for the competitive examinations for language positions are referred to as 'MoU universities'. Collectively they make up the 'MoU network.'"

"At the United Nations, the term “language professional” covers a wide range of specialists, such as interpreters, translators, editors, verbatim reporters, terminologists, reference assistants and copy preparers/proofreaders/production editors.

The United Nations is one of the world's largest employers of language professionals. Several hundred such staff work for the Department for General Assembly and Conference Management in New York, Geneva, Vienna and Nairobi, or at the United Nations regional commissions in Addis Ababa, Bangkok, Beirut, Geneva and Santiago."
