This assignment's intended impact is to strengthen the legitimacy and effectiveness of UN and other peace operations through applied research and focussed policy support that help address key challenges.

The intended outcome is enhanced knowledge providing a stronger foundation for analysis, foresight and responses to global security challenges so that the UN and other actors and institutions responsible for collective crisis management are in a better position to adapt to a changing global order.

The project will address key challenges facing UN peace operations and select coalitions in e.g. the Middle East and Ukraine.

The project is financed by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The project period will last from 2026 to 2028.
