Policy advice
BICC has the unique advantage of being able to inform policy debates with empirical knowledge that is based on the results of BICC’s applied research. The Center thus reaches political decision-makers by tailor-made publications (such as the German Friedensgutachten), data bases (such as the Global Militarization Index), presentations and informal talks. Moreover, BICC is prominently represented in influential advisory committees on peace and conflict.
