Funded Activity: Conflict
The Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) have run a series of three funding calls under the ‘Conflict Theme’ of the Partnership for Conflict, Crime and Security (PaCCS) Research. These funding calls have provided over £5 million of support for 29 highly interdisciplinary research projects that bring together researchers and expertise from a range of different disciplines, organisations and countries to address a number of different issues related to conflict. The projects range in size from small Innovation Awards focussed on particular problems to Large Grants much broader in scope.
The most recent funding call had a specific focus on conflict and international development and was supported from the initial allocations for the AHRC and ESRC under the Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF). The AHRC and ESRC GCRF allocation was also used to support four of the larger Research Grants funded under a previous call. In total GCRF funding has supported 13 Innovation Awards and 4 Research Grants under the Conflict Theme of PaCCS.
The full list of funded projects is provided below.
