Our working group has held several meetings to elaborate a concept of a future field of UN Studies.

Our brainstorming sessions and discussions included following questions:

• What are shortcomings in current research and teaching?
• What are the problem causes?
• What are distinguishing features of a future field of studies and desiderata?

  For more informationabout how we started to think about UN Studies, see

• State of the art - UN study programs

  Our mission statement reflects a broad variety of issues we deem important.
