[Translate to English:]

[Translate to English:]

[postponed due to Covid-19] The conference Grazer Forschungsbeiträge zu Frieden und Konflikt aims to bring together the expertise of Graz scholars based at the University of Graz, in the field of peace and conflict studies.

Peace and conflict are investigated by a multitude of diverse scholarly disciplines, even if they frame their subject matter in different terms. This applies both to disciplines and university faculties. At the University of Graz, too, research on peace and conflict is dispersed among multiple academic departments ranging from natural sciences to theology, law, humanities and cultural sciences. The University of Graz aims to highlight its contribution to the field by bringing together scholars whose work, coming from diverse disciplines, incorporates peace and conflict studies. The conference is planned for the end of May or the end of September 2021. The contributions presented at the conference will be published in an edited volume.
