Un nouveau centre de recherche et de formation de l'Université des Nations Unies pour l'innovation, la technologie et le développement est né officiellement le 1er janvier 2006. Ce nouveau centre, dont le nom est UNU-MERIT (Centre de Recherche Economique et Sociale et de Formation de Maastricht pour l'Innovation et la Technologie) est le résultat d'un accord de coopération entre l'UNU et l'Université de Maastricht. 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. Le principal but de la fusion de ces deux instituts basés à Maastricht était de mettre en commun leurs ressources intellectuelles et de réaliser des synergies dans le contenu de leurs recherches et leur organisation. 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. 1, record 1, French, - Centre%20de%20Recherche%20Economique%20et%20Sociale%20et%20de%20Formation%20de%20Maastricht%20pour%20l%27Innovation%20et%20la%20Technologie%20de%20l%27Universit%C3%A9%20des%20Nations%20Unies

Signés le 10.12.91, ils approfondissent les liens économiques et jettent les bases d'une union politique. Les accords de Maastricht ont provoqué une certaine commotion en Europe. Le rejet initial du Danemark par référendum et l'approbation tiède dela France, en 1992, laissent planer des doutes sur le succès de l'intégration européenne. En outre, la neutralité de l'Irlande, et d'éventuels membres de la CEE, comme l'Autriche, la Finlande et la Suède, posent des problèmes. 1, record 9, French, - accords%20de%20Maastricht
