The main goals of the UNITWIN-Network are:

• To develop twinning and other linking arrangements (programs of cooperation) between participating institutions;
• To improve national and regional capabilities for modernizing undergraduate biological sciences education;
• Developing a cadre of local faculty that can apply modern educational technology and theory to the improvement of education;
• Designing and developing sharable, innovative, instructional programs. Developing strategies for integration of interactive multimedia into pilot courses and curricula in the biological sciences.
• Purdue University will work with the UNESCO and the UNITWIN-Network to secure funding from the UNESCO and/or other institutions or entities to carry out the following activities:
• Improving National and Regional Capabilities
• Development of an integrated plan aiming at improving the present traditional instructional methods still followed in teaching biological sciences in Arab States universities and at Purdue University through
• Developing a cadre of local faculty skilled in application of modern educational technologies
• Developing sharable educational products
• Designing and developing pilot educational programs in biological sciences
• Developing strategies for encouraging adoption of successful programs and curricula by other institutions.
• Strengthening of the university's infra-structure through acquisition of computers, teaching materials and information products (CD-ROMs, Laser/Video Disks)
• Encouraging the transfer of knowledge and faculty expertise through faculty exchange and consultation visits.
• Seeking financial support from various funding agencies to support and sustain the technical activities of the network.
