PeaceRep is a consortium of research institutions, non-governmental organisations, and local research teams led by the University of Edinburgh Law School. We are a team of 50+ researchers, mediation practitioners, lawyers, data scientists, visualization researchers, managers, and communications professionals dedicated to reimagining peace and transition processes.
We work on:
Interdisciplinary research on peace and transition processes
Teaching to support knowledge exchange and best practice
Peace process design and support
Innovative ‘PeaceTech’ and data
Consortium members include:
Conciliation Resources, Conflict and Civicness Research Group at LSE, Coventry University’s Centre for Trust, Peace and Social Relations, Edinburgh Centre for Constitutional Law, International IDEA, LSE Middle East Centre, Queens University Belfast, University of St Andrews, University of Stirling, and the University of Glasgow.
We also work with a range of partners in the field, including Yemen Policy Centre, Yemen Polling Centre, Peace Track Initiative, and more.
