Description

The Corridors Young Researchers Workshop strives to deepen our understanding of the complex conflict structures, dynamics and interdependencies to explore the Obstacles and Opportunities for Dialogue and Cooperation in Protracted Conflicts. The workshop will bring together 18 young academics and graduates from the regions affected by protracted conflicts and international experts in the field of conflict studies and dialogue. In a comparative perspective, the aim is to combine first-hand research with international expertise to enhance knowledge transfer and bring up new ideas. After the workshop, a publication will draw together findings from the presentations and discussions for further use.

The project is funded by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and implemented at the IOS.
