Center For International Conflict Resolution
Columbia University

Committed to Conflict Transformation and Peace Building

The Center for International Conflict Resolution (CICR) at Columbia University, New York, contributes to the resolution of international deadly conflict through research, education and practice. CICR strives to increase understanding of international conflicts through innovative, collaborative research and is committed to offering courses, fellowships, scholarships and training programs that disseminate knowledge about conflicts and their causes.

CICR’s efforts focus on participatory processes that increase social capital and engagement in long-term peace processes. We encourage the movement towards ‘positive’, sustainable peace. We generate creative opportunities, even if they are simply instances, which can help strengthen this process. We foster inclusiveness and creative human development. Learn more.
