Research

We analyze the causes of international and intrastate conflicts and look for ways to resolve them.

As one of the leading peace research institutes in Europe, we combine interdisciplinary basic research with the transfer of knowledge to politics, the media and society.

Dialogue & Education

We engage critically with the academic mainstream and the political zeitgeist – and provide important impetus to the academic and political debate both nationally and internationally.

We develop courses of action for ministries, political parties, NGOs and companies and provide them with background knowledge and analyses.
