The Summer School seeks to attract reflective research students (MA or PhD), preferably with field experience, working on a broad range of issues pertaining to peace and peacebuilding. The aim is to broaden rather than restrict input and to bring together individuals with different disciplinary backgrounds and professional experiences.
The University of Cyprus, in collaboration with the European Consortium for Political Research, the Home for Cooperation and the International Association of Peace and Conflict Studies organise the Second Summer School in Peace and Conflict Studies. The purpose of this Summer School is to bring together leading academics in the interdisciplinary field of Peace and Conflict Studies with practitioners and postgraduate students who are working in this area from varied disciplines, locations, and orientations. The continuation of war, terrorist and secessionist movements, and the radicalisation of politics in cross-national and regional contexts present pressing and persistent crises to the international system. In some occasions, basic governance and welfare provisions have collapsed. Humanitarian relief has become ever more necessary but increasingly dangerous. Beyond the fragility of state institutions, the viability of 20th century state formations is in serious doubt in certain regions. Conflict resolution and peacebuilding theory and practice face new problems and challenges that require serious reflection and understanding, careful engagement and well-thought action.
The Summer School will be taught in intensive morning and afternoon sessions. It will be organised around lectures and seminars led by experts. It will also include roundtables, panels and discussion sessions with scholars and practitioners. Furthermore, there will be an UNFICYP study tour along the buffer zone in Nicosia. A fieldtrip will be organised around a specific topic, while events will be held to facilitate the discussion of research agendas. One hour each day will be invested for student consultation, while one day will be allocated to students to present their own research work and receive feedback from the teaching faculty.

Topics to be covered
Location & Cyprus The summer school will take place in Old Nicosia, the heart of Cyprus’s divided capital, which provides a cozy and vibrant environment, as well as the opportunity for social and cultural entertainment during day and nighttime. The intractable Cyprus Problem provides a useful backdrop to study issues of peace and conflict. In the heart of a vibrant divided city, participants will be able to experience first-hand peace and conflict predicaments and reflect on wider issues from around the globe.
Credits All participants receive a Summer School Certificate of Attendance (5 ECTS) or a Diploma (10 ECTS) on the basis of a 7000 words Research Paper.
