CRG Violent Conflict

The aim of the CRG Violent Conflict s to create a network of scholars in Europe who focus on African conflicts and their aftermaths, where conflict is organised violence but not necessarily armed warfare.

Enhance the visibility of this topical cluster within the European African Studies landscape and beyond, and thereby to deepen AEGIS as a network
Promote collaboration between relevant researchers within Europe and Africa

CRG Violent Conflict engages in the following activities:

Support or facilitate the organisation of thematic conferences, conference panels or workshops (including AEGIS thematic conferences) by its participants/members
Support development of joint publication
Sharing teaching experiences and agendas
Support or facilitate members'/ participants' joint application for research funding on a European or Global level
