About the Conference

With significant changes in the human climate, our planet has a better chance for sustainable development. The challenge is to re-search new futures. Scholars, decision-makers and practitioners must bring intellectual, volitional and emotional functions into play together. Peace researchers have a vital role in the process of constructively transforming the conflicts in the world today.
