The United Nations Regional Information Centre for Western Europe (UNRIC) based in Brussels serves as the United Nations (UN)'s communications office across 22 Western European countries.
As the regional arm of the UN Department of Global Communications,[1] UNRIC builds connections between the United Nations and key European stakeholders, including EU institutions, governments, civil society, media, academia, and the private sector.
UNRIC also provides communications support to the 30 United Nations agencies located in Brussels[2] and works together with the European Union institutions on shared communications priorities such as information integrity.
