Institute for Conflict Research

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Institute for Conflict Research (IKF) was founded in 1976 as a non-university research institution in Vienna and has been headed by Brigitte Haller since 2012.

About the institute

The institute sees its purpose in “researching political and social conflicts on an interdisciplinary level, developing possible solutions and - in the sense of scientific policy advice - creating factual decision-making bases. Basic research forms the basis of this activity. ”The Austrian political scientist Anton Pelinka was responsible for the scientific management of the institute until 2012 , and Birgitt Haller has been in charge since then.

Other employees of the institute are or were Helga Amesberger , Brigitte Halbmayr , Hubert Sickinger and Karin Stögner.

The institute cooperates with similar research institutions in Germany and abroad. Since 2011 it has been part of the CPDC ( Conflict, Peace and Democracy Cluster ), which is set up at the Faculty for Interdisciplinary Research and Training (iff) at the Alpen-Adria-Universität Klagenfurt , Vienna and Graz . In 2016 the cluster moved to the Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz , whereby the participating institutes were retained. Also involved are the Democracy Center Vienna , the ÖSFK - Austrian Study Center for Peace and Conflict Resolution and, since 2015, the Faculty of Law at the University of Graz .
