In recent years, armed conflicts have become more prevalent, severe, and complex, increasingly internationalized and driven by rivalries on the global stage. Existing conflict models do not fully capture this complexity, underscoring the need for new models and tools.
At the same time, rapid advancements in AI have enabled new approaches to data extraction and risk modelling. In this context, it is essential to foster dialogue between researchers and policymakers to develop a common understanding of how emerging technologies can be used in a practical way for preventive actions.
The workshop brings together policymakers in the field of conflict prevention, who will illustrate use cases for data and models in their day-to-day work, and scientists, who will present new approaches to both data collection and risk modelling.
The overall aim is to bridge the gap between researchers and policymakers and align ongoing research more closely with practical needs.
