​The IAS is pleased to highlight the launch of the Bavarian Science Alliance for Peace, Conflict, and Security Research (FoKS), of which the University of Bayreuth is a founding member. Several IAS members are actively involved in this interdisciplinary initiative. The Bavarian Science Alliance consolidates scientific expertise in Bavaria on the themes of peace, security, and conflict. It integrates social, technical, natural, and humanities approaches to develop scientific perspectives on global security challenges and to work out societal and political solutions in dialogue with decision-makers. In doing so, the alliance commits to strengthening democratic, liberal, and rule-based structures at the national, European, and international levels.
