The UNU Conversation Series provides a unique public platform for influential experts, world leaders and respected scholars and authors to share personal insights on contemporary global affairs, politics, and media. Held in Tokyo at UNU headquarters, the conversations are hosted and moderated by UNU Rector and UN Under-Secretary-General Tshilidzi Marwala.
Research at the UNU is not all about desk based studies and literature reviews. Rather UNU researchers work in the field, trying to understanding complex problems and offer practical solutions, based on sound science and expert knowledge. This playlist shares some examples of the work of the UNU in the field in different parts of the world.

The UNU is a global think tank implementing policy relevant research on contemporary global issues. Through events and projects, the UNU acts as a platform for international leaders, policy-makers, scientists and world class scholars to share their knowledge and views on the big questions of today.
Launched in 2008, the Our World magazine (http://ourworld.unu.edu) presents the research outcomes of the UN University together with expert commentary in the form of short articles. The UNU also developed, at the same time, the concept of the video brief. These are short, character driven stories about people and organisations that are tackling complex social development and environmental issues in new, innovative ways.
