Vision
The CPD Policy Blog creates a bridge between science and politics, thus relating the enlightening potential of science to the field of political practice
Cooperation

Research
Peace and conflict research deals with violence and violent conflicts in the broadest sense. It thus seeks to formulate strategies to overcome these forms of violence in the short, medium and long term.
CPD Cluster
The CPD Cluster seeks to bundle the competence existing in Austria in the areas of conflict, peace & democracy. The CPD Cluster thus contributes to the peaceful, non-violent and non-discriminatory development of society from the point of view of science, theory and practice.
