L'inauguration de l UNU-MERIT fait suite à une période transitoire d'un an, durant laquelle les deux universités ont décidé de la manière d'intégrer leurs instituts de recherche respectifs l'Institut pour les Nouvelles Technologies de l'UNU (UNU-INTECH) et le MERIT.

L'UNU-MERIT s'attachera à atteindre trois objectifs primordiaux : devenir un centre de recherche de classe internationale d'excellence académique attirant les meilleurs chercheurs de par le monde; devenir un centre de recherche essentiel en matière de politiques de la connaissance à un niveau global, national, et régional dans les pays en développement aussi bien que dans les pays développés; devenir un centre de formation international universitaire et politique, proposant des formations et la supervision de doctorats aussi bien qu'un centre de formation politique pour les étudiants et les fonctionnaires des pays en développement et des pays développés.
