Strengthening the cooperation of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime with academics and higher education institutions around the world is at the core of UNODC's Education for Justice (E4J) initiative. "Voices of Academia" is our latest effort to provide academics with a platform to showcase not only higher education's role in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) but also the importance of academia and higher education institutions in shaping policy discussion by providing the necessary research and baselines for evidence-based policy-making on issues that affect all of us.
This Global Podcast Series features leading academics talking about their work and latest research related to the topics covered by the E4J University Module Series and how higher education can make a difference in addressing today's and tomorrow's challenges and in strengthening the rule of law worldwide.
