PeaceTech in Action
Jean Golding Institute Data Week

Peacetech is a growing new field, leading to collaborations across the globe between peacebuilding and conflict resolution activists and specialists, and IT industry professionals. The aim of the movement is to harness new and innovative technologies to enhance the analysis and understanding of conflicts, and also to create practical tools to avoid and solve conflicts on the ground and online. There’s a pressing need for proactive thinking in this emerging field, and we’re looking for industry and IT professionals to join us in this important work.
The Data Week PeaceTech in Action session includes a short opening and closing discussion as well as attendance at one of the following 1 hour online workshops:
Workshop 2
The future for peacebuilding in a data-driven societyWorkshop 3
Data mapping and visualisation: enhancing peacebuilding and conflict resolutionWorkshop 4

This session is aimed at building an engaged interdisciplinary peacetech community. Outputs from the recorded workshops will be used to map out future directions of focus for the group.
