INCORE

INCORE - International Conflict Research - is an international center of excellence for Peace and Conflict study affiliated to the United Nations University in Tokyo. INCORE also serves as the co-ordinating body for peace and conflict related work across the University of Ulster. Our work is interdisciplinary in nature and often comparative in focu... s. We draw on INCORE's unique location in Derry and Northern Ireland and seek to offer shared learning and best practice based on our experiences in Northern Ireland as a means to promote peace and conflict research and practice elsewhere. Recently this was attested to by the visit of a group of Nepalese MP's to study the peace process here and draw on shared learning to hopefully impact on the savage civil war ongoing in their own country. INCORE has developed intricate and mutually-productive links with political and civil society across Northern Ireland. We seek to promote best practice and quality research into diversity and conflict management (DCM) in Northern Ireland - and to develop peace-building in Northern Ireland generally - via the combination of our in-house expertise and the sterling efforts of our partners in political and civil society.Read More
