Resource Conflict Monitor - Governing the Dynamic between Natural Resources and Violent Conflict- The Resource Conflict Monitor (RCM) monitors how resource-rich countries manage, administer and govern their natural resources and illustrates the impact of the quality of resource governance on the onset, intensity and duration of violent conflict.

Sicherheit, Rüstung und Entwicklung in Empfängerländern deutscher Rüstungsexporte- On this website BICC publishes different data sets concerning the military sector, overall security environment, human rights situation and governance in all together 170 countries.
The website includes detailed country reports in PDF format on 16 selected recipient states of German arms exports outside of NATO. The reports are only available in German language and were last updated in Spring 2006.
Furthermore, a large database (external link) examines the correspondence of 170 countries to seven evaluation criteria, which are based upon the EU Code of Conduct.

ConverArt - Die Kunst der Abrüstung - The Art of Disamament- Virtuelle Dokumentation der Ausstellung / Virtual documentation of the exhibition.
Ein Wettbewerb unter Kunststudenten zum Thema Abrüstung und Konversion, wie er 1998 anläßlich 350. Jahrestages des Westfälischen Friedens vom Bonn International Center for Conversion (BICC) veranstaltet wurde, scheint auf den ersten Blick ein ungewöhnliches Projekt für ein internationales Forschungs- und Beratungsinstitut zu sein. Die gedankliche und praktische Umwandlung ehemals militärischer Ressourcen für eine zivile Nutzung ist jedoch ein vielschichtiger und schwieriger Prozess. Die Öffentlichkeit daran zu beteiligen, gehört zu den Aufgaben des BICC und jede Erweiterung des Blickfeldes ist hierfür produktiv. Es war eine besonders reizvolle Herausforderung, das heutige Spannungsfeld von Kunst und Politik für dieses Vorhaben zu aktivieren.
A competition for art students on the theme of disarmament and conversion, organized by the Bonn International Center for Conversion (BICC), which took place in 1998 on the occasion of the 350th anniversary of the Peace of Wesphalia may seem at first sight to be an unusual project for an international research and consulting institute. The theoretical and practical transformation of former military resources for civilian use is, however, a complex and difficult process. Involving the public in this is among the tasks of BICC and, in this respect, every expansion of vision is productive. It was a particularly fascinating challenge to activate the exciting field of art and politics today for this purpose.
