The 2026 Summer School has commenced with an introductory day at PRIO. Participants were welcomed by the course coordinators, Malika Rakhmankulova and Maria Helena Chavez-Aagaard, together with PRIO’s Acting Director, Haakon Gjerløw.
Twenty-five students from countries including Colombia, Kazakhstan, Norway, the Bahamas, Malawi, Nepal, Kenya, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, and Poland have begun a six-week course in peace research as part of the University of Oslo’s International Summer School. Organised by PRIO every summer since 1969, the course is taught primarily by PRIO researchers and brings together participants from around the world to explore key issues in peace and conflict studies
We look forward to an engaging programme of academic exchange, insightful discussions, and new perspectives on peace research throughout the summer.
