The DataLab provides training sessions and workshops for young and experienced researchers from the KonKoop network and the project’s partners
This new database presents comprehensive information on 51 accessible collections of protest event data
Conflict and Cooperation Database
The catalog provides a list of available datasets and sources covering the regions of Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and South Caucasus.
Critical Cartography and Map Analysis
One of the main directions of the VisLab is to develop and provide a systematic and critical analysis of peace and conflict visualisations with the intention to articulate relevant concepts, explore features and develop its typologies
Drawing on the analysis of visualisations and best practices, the VisLab will explore and propose a variety of visualisation approaches related to the topic lines and case studies in the KonKoop project.
In this inventory, the VisLab collects diverse examples in which peace, conflict and their entanglements with other socio-spatial processes are visualised by various actors (e.g. scientists, media, or artists).
