#### Shaping responses to the complex issues facing humanity, the Grand Challenges Program puts UNSW’s research squarely into the real world. Each challenge engages scholars, policymakers and the public, through a series of critical discussions, debates, events and activities about one of the tests of our time.
#### ****The current Grand Challenges are: [Trust](https://www.grandchallenges.unsw.edu.au/themes/trust "Trust") and [Rapid Urbanisation](https://www.grandchallenges.unsw.edu.au/themes/rapid-urbanisation "Rapid Urbanisation").****
#### ****These follow the successful Grand Challenges on [Climate Change](https://www.grandchallenges.unsw.edu.au/themes/climate-change "Climate Change"), [Refugees & Migrants](https://www.grandchallenges.unsw.edu.au/themes/refugees-migrants "Refugees & Migrants"), [Inequality](https://www.grandchallenges.unsw.edu.au/themes/inequality "Inequality") and [Living with 21st Century Technology](https://www.grandchallenges.unsw.edu.au/themes/living-21st-century-technology "Living with 21st Century Technology").****
#### ****The Grand Challenges Program is led by Scientia Professor Rob Brooks.****
