SIPRI produces a variety of videos to cater for different viewing preferences and to serve as an alternative platform to provide insights on peace and security. With events as a core component of SIPRI’s outreach, livestreams and recordings of SIPRI’s conferences and seminars are regularly produced.
SIPRI Conversations
The SIPRI Conversations series is a collection of conversational-style interviews in which Stephanie Blenckner, SIPRI Director of Communications, talks to a range of experts on topics related to conflict, peace and security. The aim of the series is to highlight issues pertaining to peace and security from an insider's perspective and provide further insight into the projects, methodologies and data that SIPRI experts work with.
Watch the latest episodes on Sweden and NATO, the state of world nuclear forces, space systems and nuclear deterrence and the Missile Technology Control Regime.
Spotlight
The Spotlight series is a collection of short, on the spot interviews, captured on occasions where individuals have visited SIPRI for various events, seminars and workshops or have engaged in external SIPRI activities. The aim of the series is to capture an array of angles and viewpoints that will stimulate further discussions to better understand the conditions for peaceful solutions of international conflicts and for a stable peace.
The series features an array of individuals, including academics, civil society representatives, diplomats, government officials and researchers. Browse through the playlist of interviews with Margot Wallström, HE Dr Ahmed Awad Bin Mubarak, Dr Robert Floyd, Stefan Löfven and fellow ambassadors, researchers, etc.
Several Spotlight interviews have been grouped together in playlists under umbrella films that feature SIPRI experts speaking about a particular set of issues in a region, such as ‘Strengthening chemical security’, ‘Environmental and climate justice, and the dynamics of violence in Latin America’, or ‘Climate change and security in West Africa’. Through these playlists, SIPRI strives to bring regional perceptions, voices and views to the global debate.
