The Edinburgh Peace Institute
The Edinburgh Peace Institute advances a human needs approach to peacemaking, peacekeeping, and peacebuilding. We achieve this through educational training, research, and mediation, as we advocate for peaceful relations, and human needs, with and between, political, social, humanitarian, and religious actors in conflict. In a complex conflict world, we have to ethically balance, the sacred and scientific worlds. We engage enlightenment principles of verification in our research approach, to open up a discussion for peace.
