Research and Publications
We conduct research and provide policy recommendations on using technology to build peace and how to address emergent challenges to peace in the digital age. Some of our research is aimed at expanding knowledge in the field of digital peacebuilding, conducted in partnership with academic institutions. Some of our research is focused on providing resources and policy recommendations to practitioners, based on our direct experience of implementing programs. We also publish more informal reflections on our work, methods and areas of research interest on our blog.
