Speakers of Highlight

UN Behavioural Science Week over the years

…and several others!

The annual UN Behavioural Science Weeks showcase Behavioural Science across the UN

For seven years, the UN Behavioural Science Group has convened the annual UN Behavioural Science Week, bringing together UN colleagues to share their experiences with behavioural science and discuss UN work with leaders outside the UN.  

​

UN Entities collaborate on the design and delivery of the Week as well as support each other in fostering their understanding and application of behavioural science. UN Behavioural Science Week events are free of charge and open to all, and have attracted attendance and attention from thousands of UN colleagues as well as representatives from governments and academia.

The UN Behavioural Science Group is an initiative of the UN Innovation Network, supported by the Executive Office of the UN Secretary-General.

It brings together over 10,000 colleagues from 70+ UN Entities and 150+ countries, alongside external observers from academia, government, civil society, the private sector and more. Join us in advancing behavioural science across the UN and beyond!
