The generation of ideas through multi- & interdisciplinary research;

The event provides ample opportunities to present your research findings, exchange ideas on conflict research, and engage in discussion and evaluation. The event language is English.

The Center
The CCEW is jointly funded by Germany’s Federal Ministry of Defence (MoD) and the Federal Foreign Office (FFO). The CCEW seeks to develop innovative conceptual approaches and methods to improve crisis early warning systems.
The main tasks of the CCEW are:
- Conducting quantitative crisis and conflict research using innovative conceptual and methodological approaches (predictive analytics); and
-
Helping the above federal ministries predict and assess crises and conflicts and thus take appropriate preventive measures.
The research output of the CCEW benefits the digital crisis early warning systems used by MoD and FFO.
Venue
The Symposium will be held in person at the University of the Bundeswehr Munich located in Neubiberg, Germany.
