PEACE and CONFLICT Case Studies: Europe and Beyond” Joint Intensive Program I and II Programme (PDF doc)

The objective of the project is to organise the second intensive session, gathering the selected candidates to the EDEN Programme (European Doctorate Enhancement), under the theme of 'Peace and Conflict Case Studies: Europe and Beyond'.

The students will have been selected to the programme on the basis of their expertise in the field of international law, conflict resolution and peace building.

The seminars offered in the IP will provide the 'praxis' perspective to potential experts and policy-makers in the area.

The IP will take the form of a ten-day-long seminar, with presentations and training modules from an interdisciplinary body of academics and specialists, and will include active participation on the part of the candidates.

The following areas of interest have been selected:

a) the integration of theory and practise in conflict resolution,

b) the European standard and traditional approaches in conflict resolution, and

c) the alternative approaches to conflict resolution within and beyond Europe.

The IP will be the second of two sessions geared towards obtaining the EDEN diploma. As a result, the expected output of the programme is to strengthen the emergence of an active network of European experts in the field of Peace and Conflict studies.
