Mission

AC4‘s mission is to support, share and connect theory, research and practice at Columbia University and beyond related to conflict resolution, violence prevention and sustainable development and peace. We work collaboratively across disciplinary and cultural lenses and methodologies to engage complex global issues. Through support of faculty and students at Columbia, and in collaboration with centers and institutes at Columbia and across the globe, AC4 works to generate leading-edge ideas, practices and technologies for fostering constructive conflict resolution, violence prevention and sustainable development and peace.
