Established in 1993, INCORE (International
Conflict research) is a joint project of the United
Nations University and the University
of Ulster. Combining research, education and comparative
analysis,
INCORE addresses the causes and consequences of conflict in
Northern Ireland and internationally and promotes conflict resolution
management strategies. It aims to influence policymakers and practitioners
involved in peace, conflict and reconciliation issues while enhancing
the nature of international conflict research.
INCORE
is located within the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University
of Ulster and co-ordinates the varied peace and conflict-related
activity across the University – encompassing work in disciplines
such as politics, policy studies, history, international affairs, sociology,
geography, architecture, communications and social work, as well as in
peace and conflict studies.
INCORE works
in partnership with a variety of institutions and organizations – locally
and internationally. Partner
organizations include community groups and civil society organizations
in Northern Ireland, peace and conflict-oriented NGOs and think-tanks
in Northern Ireland and internationally, and academic institutions around
the world.
