Science4Peace: A quantitative toolkit for conflict early warning and crisis management.

The Science4Peace portal combines conflict monitoring and forecasting data with detailed maps to support conflict early warning, conflict prevention, and crisis management. The new portal features four conflict analysis tools that focus on (1) structural conflict risk (Global Conflict Risk Index); (2) short-term conflict forecasts (Dynamic Conflict Risk Model); (3) monitoring of recent conflict events (Conflict Event Trends); and (4) maps of emerging and ongoing crises (Global Crisis Atlas). The Country Profiles integrate data from all four tools in a single page, covering 140 countries. Science4Peace aims to give policy makers easy access to conflict-related data through the use of interactive data visualizations and maps. The portal is designed and developed by the Joint Research Centre (JRC), in close collaboration with the European External Action Service (EEAS) and the Service for Foreign Policy Instruments (FPI).
