Aarhus Centre for Conflict Management (Aarcon) is an interdisciplinary centre that is intended to promote collaboration, knowledge exchange, and mutual learning among researchers, students, and practitioners working with conflict in the broadest sense of that word. The centre is located at Moesgaard Campus, and it is part of the School of Culture and Society at Aarhus University.

It is an ‘open’ centre where everybody is welcome to be affiliated, and it inspires to be a creative space where we try to challenge established assumptions and develop new ideas together. The centre is characterised by a dynamic ‘bottom up’ approach in the sense that its activities and focus areas continuously develop based on what the affiliated persons find interesting and meaningful. Current focus areas include:

• Access to justice
• Border conflicts
• Climate justice
• Communication
• Gender conflicts
• Human-wildlife conflicts
• Human security
• International criminal justice
• Land conflicts
• Restorative justice
