Center for the Study of Conflict & Peace

Welcome to CeCoP!

CeCoP combines research, teaching, and science communication on current issues in the context of violent conflicts and international and intra-societal peace processes. Since 2021/22, CeCoP has been offering the international master's program in  Conflict Studies and Peacebuilding, which aims to familiarize students with interdisciplinary approaches from peace and conflict research as well as with professional fields of practice. With our work, we want to make a contemporary contribution to Osnabrück's portrait as a “city of peace.” As a research center, CeCoP is part of the  Institute for Social Sciences and cooperates with other research institutions at the Osnabrück University.

Study Peace in the City of Peace!
