 10th INTERNATIONAL INCORE SUMMER SCHOOL 2009



 The INCORE (International Conflict Research Institute) Summer School at the
 University of Ulster's Magee Campus in Northern Ireland provides a
 structured learning opportunity to analyse the dynamic and constantly
 changing field of conflict resolution and peacebuilding. Focusing on the
 latest research and concepts in peace and conflict studies and practice;
 participants are invited to compare, contrast and learn from different
 perspectives.



 The 2009 International Summer School will run from 15th - 19th June.



 This year we are offering three courses:



 * Interpersonal Reconciliation after Violent Political Conflict

 * Peacemaking and Peacebuilding: Exploring the Lessons Learned from Northern
 Ireland

 * Evaluation and Impact Assessment of Peacebuilding Programmes



 Alongside these modules we also run the Northern Ireland programme to
 provide participants with an opportunity to network with others, gaining a
 deeper insight into Northern Ireland.



 For details on the Summer School visit:
 http://www.incore.ulst.ac.uk/courses/ss/



 The Transitional Justice Institute at the University of Ulster will be
 running their Summer School entitled "Negotiating Peace, Negotiating
 Justice" in the same week as the INCORE Summer School. TJI and INCORE are
 partnering schools in 2009 so participants from the TJI Summer School will
 join INCORE Summer School participants during the Northern Ireland Programme
 and for social events.



 Final Deadline for applications 20 APRIL 2009



 The INCORE Summer School is recognised by UNITAR (United Nations Institute
 for Training and Research) Programme of Correspondence Instruction in
 Peacekeeping Operations, and may form part of The Certificate-of-Training In
 Peace Support Operations (COTIPSO) Programme.



 BURSARIES FOR INCORE SUMMER SCHOOL AND ROUNDTABLE (Deadline 23 April
 2009)

 INCORE (International Conflict Research Institute) based at the
 University of Ulster in Northern Ireland, and associate site of the
 United Nations University, is please to offer five bursary places for
 its 10th International Summer School and roundtable on 'Evaluating
 Research in Divided Societies'. The bursaries are funded by the
 International Development Research Centre (IDRC). The bursaries are
 specifically available for the Evaluation Module of the Summer School,
 see http://www.incore.ulst.ac.uk/courses/ss/ and to attend the
 'Evaluating Research in Divided Societies' Roundtable that will follow
 the Summer School.

 The bursaries will help widen participation in the Evaluation Summer
 School Module, but are also part of the 'Evaluating Research in Divided
 Societies' project which INCORE is undertaking in partnership with the
 IDRC. The project considers the challenges of evaluating research in
 violently divided societies, and how different evaluation methodologies
 could be adapted and utilized to deal with the specific ethical,
 methodological and practical challenges that research in divided
 societies presents (see extended notes below).

 The bursaries will cover:

 1.      Summer School fee
 2.      A return economy class flight from country of current residence
 to Northern Ireland
 3.      Accommodation costs (including the nights of 14 June 2009
 through to 23 June 2009)
 4.      Per diem for the week

 Successful applicants will be expected to participate fully in and
 attend:

 1.      The Summer School Evaluation Module (15-19 June 2009, arriving
 14 June)
 2.      The 'Evaluating Research in Divided Societies' Roundtable (22-23
 June 2009)

 Application Process

 Notes: 'Evaluating Research in Divided Societies' Project

 In spite of the increased funding for research in violently divided
 societies in recent decades, specific frameworks for the evaluation of
 this type of research do not exist. Currently, evaluation of Conflict
 Prevention and Peacebuilding (CPPB) interventions in violently divided
 societies is largely geared towards program evaluation, rather than
 evaluation of research.  Although there are many similarities between
 CPPB program evaluation and evaluation of research in violently divided
 societies, the differences between the two, coupled with the fact that
 this research is often used to inform CPPB programming decisions,
 highlight the need for research-specific evaluation frameworks to be
 developed. Moreover, given the relationship of research to CPPB
 programming decisions, there is a pressing need to develop
 research-specific evaluation frameworks if donor organizations are to
 continue to justify funding CPPB programs and activities.  Therefore,
 through a literature review, commissioned "think-pieces" and a
 roundtable meeting of practitioners and academics whose expertise lies
 in the fields in evaluation and in researching violently divided
 societies, the proposed project will consider the challenges of
 evaluating research in violently divided societies, and how different
 evaluation methodologies could be adapted and utilised to deal with the
 specific ethical, methodological and practical challenges that research
 in divided societies presents.
