Karen Meijer and Nina von Uexkull will contribute to a workshop at the Joint Research Centre (JRC) Disaster Risk Management Knowledge in Ispra, Italy.

This year’s annual Global Conflict Risk Index (GCRI) workshop will have two sessions focused on (i) short-term forecasting for situational awareness and conflict prevention and (ii) the climate change-conflict nexus.

Close cooperation between policy makers and scientific experts is key to design tools for anticipating, monitoring and addressing conflicts. Therefore, the workshop will aim to facilitate dialogue among scientific experts and policy-makers.

Among the invited speakers to the second session are Mistra Geopolitics researchers Karen Meijer and Nina von Uexkull, who will hold a presentation and participate in a roundtable, respectively.
