International Think Tank
The International Think Tank has been created in 2010. Since then, each annual themed meeting of the it has gathered together high-level speakers such as economists, business leaders, theologians, philosophers, sociologists, etc. Together, they address current social and economic challenges through the prism of Christian social thinking in order to foster reflection that leads to action and a more responsible economy with human beings at its heart.
The UNIAPAC Foundation thus organises and finances the production of new ideas and the publication of summaries of its works which are then disseminated through the UNIAPAC International network.
Opinion Series
The UNIAPAC Foundation created Opinion Series in 2012. Each publication takes an in-depth look at a theme linked to the Foundation’s subjects of reflection : the place of spiritual thought in a globalised economy, ethics in business, human and social development, repercussions of and solutions to the financial crisis, inclusive economics, entrepreneurship and transforming the working world, etc…
Opinion Series is produced in English, French and Spanish and distributed to Uniapac members and partners, thus creating a basis for shared reflection and for nourishing open and diversified dialogue.

The global project The Future of Work, Labour after Laudato Si aims at contributing to the promotion and implementation of the Papal Encyclical in areas related to work, and to engage the private sector, academia, and civil society on this matter.
Members of this network are developing research and reflection capacity to imagine the of the future and to reflect on the new context of labour, as an important driver toward social justice. UNIAPAC plays a key role in the development of this global network, as well as in research, capacity building and the dissemination process.
Six parallel research tracks are being explored to gather evidence of the impact on the world of work and to find innovative solutions to address some of the main crises. UNIAPAC is leading one of the six parallel research tracks entitled The future of enterprise and leadership after Laudato Si.

Youth Employment in Africa
UNIAPAC International and its 15 national associations in Africa will be committed over the next two years towards the promotion of decent jobs for youth.

The commitment includes the organization of multiple seminars, sharing of best practices and the organization of an international congress during which the topic of decent jobs for youth will be a cornerstone. By targeting business leaders, the ones directly hiring employees, UNIAPAC hopes to generate an indirect IMPACT on decent jobs for youth. The objective is to reach out to 2000 business leaders in Africa and raise awareness on the topic of decent jobs for youth through 16 Uniapac business leaders associations.
