Connecting conflict-related scientific researchers, field experts and decision makers

ABOUT

Let's stop working separately and improve synergies between scientific researchers, field experts and decision makers. Our novel platform PEACE TALKS: policy and research, aims to do just that in three steps.

 

  1. Identify key conflict-related challenges for the world

  2. Spot relevant top scientific research associated with these challenges, field experts and policy-makers

  3. Connect them live through a webinar and make the recordings available through our YouTube channel

 

Together, we could enrich research with the knowledge of field experts and, discuss and shape policy recommendations directly with decision-makers.


There are at least three main axes on how research in economics can be useful to society and more specifically to policymakers: by evaluating a policy, doing predictions, providing broad impact/perspective
