r4d Forum 2016 Cutting Edges in Conflict Transformation Research

Networking, connecting, knowledge sharing

The Swiss Programme for Research on Global Issues for Development (r4d programme) supports scientific research aimed at solving global problems with a focus on Asian, African and Latin American countries. It funds international research projects in five thematic modules and a thematically open module. Since 2014, three international research consortia are working in 12 countries to address issues of social conflicts and power relations in fragile institutional settings.

The r4d programme invited representatives from policy and practice working in the field of social conflicts to discuss new results and insights at the edges of the body of knowledge on conflict transformation and resilience.

The event took place at Zentrum Paul Klee , Bern, Switzerland.

More information on the projects is available on the individual project websites:
