Join the Communities

UN Innovation Network

The UN Innovation Network (UNIN) is an informal, collaborative community of innovators from across the UN.

UNIN promotes innovation and hosts UN Groups on specific topics like generative AI or innovation scaling. UNIN is open to innovators and colleagues from all UN system entities and external partners.

Behavioural Science Group

Policies and programmes require people, communities and decision makers to change their behaviours for impact.

The Behavioural Science Group facilitates learning around people-centred theories and approaches for SDG progress. It is open to the public and holds an annual flagship week of events.

Digital
Community

UNDP, ITU, and the UN Innovation Network, with support from the Executive Office of the Secretary-General have teamed up to launch the UN Digital Community.

Digital is a cornerstone of the UN 2.0 Quintet of Change, and this community is set to drive digital transformation and build capacity across the UN family. 

Data Strategy
Community

Data permeates all aspects of our work, and its power – harnessed responsibly – is critical to the global agendas we serve. 

UN colleagues can sign up to the Data Strategy Community to receive updates on key data strategy highlights, events, trainings, job opportunities, use cases and other resources through its Knowledge Hub.

Strategic Foresight Community

The Strategic Foresight Community and Knowledge Hub are open for all UN colleagues – run by the UN Futures Lab and coordinated by UNESCO. 

For experienced practitioners and colleagues who want to explore, the community makes Strategic Foresight accessible to our teams, our day-to-day work & programmes. 

NewWork Culture
Community

The NewWork Culture Community is a grassroots community of UN colleagues – intrapreneurs – who are innovating, collaborating, and adopting new ways of working. 

With the goal to shift our workplace culture and cultivate an agile, people-focused UN 2.0, NewWork amplifies transformative initiatives and good practices.
