HEUNI continues to strengthen its visibility and contacts with policy-makers and other stakeholders internationally in order to advance evidence-based policy-making that promotes rational and humane crime prevention and criminal justice. Because of its acquired expertise and position as the European regional institute in the UN crime programme, HEUNI has unique potential to bring evidence-based promising practices in Europe to the attention of policy-makers and other stakeholders not only in Europe, but also globally.
HEUNI also explores new avenues and visual techniques in communicating the results from e.g. research projects or other tasks. Particular attention is paid to summarising information and presenting it in a manner that takes into consideration the needs of the target audiences.
