Previous RAUN Themes
Each academic year is devoted to one core theme of global topical relevance. The theme serves as a reference for our UN partners, when they design the concrete research projects to be carried out by our students. Furthermore, the theme serves as guiding concept in the three workshop session, which are held in three different cities each year.
