The Vienna Office is one of the offices of the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs (UNODA) away from its headquarters in New York. The activities undertaken by the Vienna Office contribute to the realization of the mission and vision of UNODA and are based on its dual role of liaison office and hub for disarmament education. 
  
In its liaison capacity, the Office represents UNODA vis-à-vis Vienna-based institutions and processes and promotes the work of UNODA across its various mandated functions.  
  
As UNODA’s hub for disarmament education, the Vienna Office supports the strategic direction and effective implementation of UNODA’s educational efforts guided by an “inform, engage, educate and empower” approach. The Office’s global e-learning platform, the Disarmament Education Dashboard, hosts self-paced and instructor-led free online training courses on a wide range of topics related to disarmament, non-proliferation and arms control. Those successfully completing a course are awarded with an e-certificate which they can share on LinkedIn to boost their professional profile.  
  
In addition, the Office promotes awareness-raising and dialogue on timely issues. The Office’s Vienna Conversation Series is a recurring forum for the disarmament and non-proliferation community and eminent stakeholders, as well as other interested audiences, including academia, civil society organizations, media, private sector and youth. These hybrid events aim at exchanging ideas and fostering discussion.  
  
As such, the activities undertaken by the Vienna Office contribute to advancing broader global frameworks, including the Agenda 2030 and Sustainable Development Goals; the Women, Peace and Security Agenda; and the Youth, Peace and Security Agenda.
