The aim of these talks is to give an overview to unirationality problems. I will discuss the behaviour of unirationality in families and its relation with rational connectedness. Then I will concentrate on hypersurfaces and conic bundles. These special classes of varieties are a good place where to test different techniques and try to approach the unirationality problem via rational connectedness.
