organisation profile

The Schleswig-Holstein Institute for Peace Research (SHIP) is an independent academic institution, attached to the Christian-Albrechts-University Kiel. The institute was established by decree of the Minister for Science, Research and Cultural Affairs of the State of Schleswig-Holstein in autumn 1995. SHIP succeeded the Peace Research Unit Kiel (PRUK) which had existed since 1990. In accordance with its statutes SHIP carries out basic and application-oriented academic work in topics relevant to the maintenance of peace. Its goal is that of improving the state of knowledge on the conditions leading to integration, non-violence, and justice in the international system as well as in individual societies. To this end SHIP endeavours: * to bring together a variety of different academic disciplines in a problem orientated manner, * to seek to co-operate in its work with other academic institutions as well as with potential users of the results of its research, and * to combine its research and development work with lecturing in tertiary institutions as well as communicating the results of its work to those from the general public who may be interested. The financial basis of SHIP is provided from the budget of the Ministry for Education, Science, Research, and Cultural Affairs ot the State of Schleswig-Holstein. In addition to this basic funding, there are grants for specific projects from third parties.
