"One cannot divine nor forecast the conditions that will make happiness; one only stumbles upon them by chance, in a lucky hour, at the world's end somewhere, and holds fast to the days, as to fortune or fame."

UN University Motto: "Advancing knowledge for human security, peace, and development."
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNU-MERIT [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNU-MERIT]
"UNU-MERIT provides insights into the social, political and economic factors that drive technological change and innovation. The Center's research and training programs address a broad range of policy questions relating to the national and international governance of science, technology and innovation, with a particular focus on the creation, diffusion and access to knowledge.
..
UNU-MERIT explores how countries can catch up in the unequal global playing field of the 21st century, without increasing inequality and social exclusion. This entails going beyond the traditional focus on domestic capacity building to analyze knowledge flows at the regional and global levels, and their impact on local development, employment, and productivity.
As globalization leads to a constantly evolving economic, political and cultural landscape a key question is how knowledge production and learning processes can be managed in the interest of all society, and in ways that promote creativity, diversity and collaboration across a broad range of actors and institutions."
