Most of the faculty in the network of graduate programs in Peace, Development, Security and International Conflict Transformation are not directly employed. This enables students to study under a vast array of accomplished professionals and in the topics they specialise in. We draw our faculty from major universities and organisations throughout the world and emphasise transrational peaces and elictive conflict transformation in our approach.
