The United Nations University Institute in Macau (UNU Macau) is a global think tank dedicated to research, training and education on digital technologies for sustainable development. It promotes evidence-based actions and policies to support the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.
Our work is to bring human/UN values into digital technology, and also ensure all voices are included, especially those of the vulnerable populations who are also impacted directly by the technological decisions.
UNU Macau takes a human-centred lens to look at how we can amplify the positive contributions of digital technologies and mitigate their risks. To achieve this mission, UNU Macau’s policy-driven research is founded on two main pillars: complex systems thinking, supported by a participatory approach.
Our current focus areas include responsible artificial intelligence (AI), gender and technology, digital health and wellbeing, participatory modelling, and more. With a multidisciplinary team that includes experts in the fields of computer science, economics, psychology, public health, and communications, UNU Macau strives to leverage collective intelligence to co-create a sustainable future for all and with all.
