[Event] The GAPs project has launched at BICC!

• GAPs is not an acronym – it’s a reference to a disconnect between what global return migration policies are expected to do, and what they do in practice. Migration return is a vital component of how national and EU asylum programs are managed. Yet, there is little alignment on the ‘what’ and ‘how’ of return. Critically, the experience of migrants is hardly considered when policymakers make decisions on return migration.
• Friday, 23 June 2023: The GAPs project wants to change this. Specifically, it will: a) scrutinise the shortcomings of the EU’s governance of returns internally and externally.b) examine the complex interactions of policymakers and local actors involved in return processes to shed light on cooperation failures.c) analyse the perspectives of migrants themselves to understand their knowledge of return policies, aspirations, and experiences.GAPs is a new Horizon Europe project coordinated by Uppsala University and BICC w...

[Press] BICC Annual Report 2021 \ From Conversion to Conflict research

• As of 15 September 2021, BICC's new name is Bonn International Centre for Conflict Studies. Against this background, the Annual Report 2021 depicts the advances of the peace and conflict research institute and its growing expertise in research and policy advice.
• Thursday, 2 December 2021: "Conversion became 'Conflict Studies'. This change of name is owed to the fact that the world has changed rapidly in the last thirty years", explains Conrad Schetter, Director of BICC. "Global conflicts are not characterised by disarmament and conversion but by a new military build-up. Entire regions, such as the Horn of Africa or Sahel, are affected by violent conflicts. This is what BICC deals with", emphasises Conrad Schetter, Director of BICC.  This Annual Report 202...
