Conflict Research Society (CRS)

Description

The Conflict Research Society (CRS) is an interdisciplinary community focused on developing deeper knowledge and understanding of conflict and co-operation. It boasts an international membership of academics and individuals who are dedicated to world-class research in the field. Consequently, it is the number one forum for leading, global, academic institutions and NGOs concerned with peace and conflict. Its key aim is to present a wide range of multidisciplinary research, and to enliven key debates in national and international affairs.

The goals of the CRS are to:

• Help understand and resolve past disputes and ongoing global conflicts
• Inspire innovation and solutions for key issues in global affairs
• Foster research and knowledge exchange on peace, conflict, and co-operation
• Unite academics, practitioners, policy makers, civil leaders, and journalists, via workshops, conferences, and other events
• Expand networks and research projects
• Share new and innovative research, monitoring and evaluation methodologies
• Encourage and reward high-quality research through initiatives, such as the Cedric Smith Prize and the Book of the Year award
• Bolster postgraduate students with small grants through the Sydney Bailey Fund
