Designed by Sanja Bandanjak, this course introduces the cutting-edge field of PeaceTech, the use of data and technology to support peacebuilding initiatives. This short course is aimed at peacebuilding professionals in international organisations, non-governmental organisations, government, and/or academia. The course will introduce participants to social science data on peace and conflict, data analysis, and visualisations. Upon completing the course, participants will:

• be able to identify, access, download, and view data from the key peace- and conflict-related data resources
• have a core understanding of the requirements of appropriate research design, as required for undertaking or commissioning research
• be able to access and use common tools for data analysis and visualisation, and create visualisations with combined data from the PA-X Peace Agreement Database

This course is scheduled to run in 2025.
