Center for Conflict Studies and Field Research


The Center for Conflict Studies and Field Research is dedicated to improving understanding of collective political and cultural violence and risk assessment and modeling through field-based research. At ARTIS, we believe that multidisciplinary field research is an essential ingredient to scientific research on human cognition and behavior. Consequently, we join together top scientists, universities and research institutions with policy makers and experts so that multidisciplinary field research can better enhance understanding of political and cultural violence.
