Research. Mediation.
Peace. Development.
RePAD is an independent research, policy and peace-practice institute working across the full conflict-to-peace continuum — from conflict analysis and mediation design to agreement implementation, peacebuilding and development.
Research departments
RePAD organises expertise around the real lifecycle of conflict and peace processes, while cross-cutting departments study political actors and emerging technologies.
Research that can inform peace practice
RePAD is designed to connect rigorous research with real-world policy and peace-process needs: conflict diagnosis, mediation options, negotiation design, implementation architecture and post-conflict development.
Publications connected to departments
Departments organise expertise. Programmes organise research questions. Publication series communicate the results.
Latest publications
New research papers, policy analysis and specialist studies are added to the RePAD publication library as they are released.
Training, methods & editorial quality
Cross-cutting platforms ensure RePAD's research is rigorous, publishable and transferable into professional skills.
