Join us for a full-day conference marking the culmination of the PeaceRep programme
As the PeaceRep programme draws to a close, join us in Edinburgh to mark the culmination of five years of data-driven research into the changing nature of peace processes. This full-day conference will showcase insights from PeaceRep’s data-driven research, featuring key findings on fragmentation, multimediation, PeaceTech, peace analytics, and country contexts, together with implications for policy and practice.
The full programme includes a keynote speech by Mary Kaldor (LSE), together with other high-level speakers to be confirmed. The event will feature PeaceRep researchers, PeaceTech developers, mediators, and policy-makers, offering a space for inter-disciplinary discussions on contemporary peace and transition processes, and what needs to change to advance conflict resolution. The afternoon will include a breakout session with a country focus; please choose your top two choices below to allow us to allocate rooms accordingly.
