About the Partners
HPCR The Program on Humanitarian Policy and Conflict Research (HPCR) is an international research and policy program based at the Harvard School of Public Health. The Program offers a multidisciplinary approach to new challenges in the field of humanitarian affairs. Key sectors of activity include human security, conflict management, and International Humanitarian Law. HPCR provides technical assistance and information support for international organizations engaged in conflict prevention and management. The Program was established in August 2000 as a collaborative effort of the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH), the Executive Office of the United Nations Secretary-General, and the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs. HEI The Graduate Institute of International Studies is a world class research institution with a broad mandate in international affairs, and an interdisciplinary focus on international law, history, economics and political science. The Graduate Institute has particular expertise on international humanitarian and human rights law, and international security studies, with two specialized programs in these areas (the Center for International Humanitarian Law, and the Program in Strategic and International Security Studies). THE PARTNERSHIP The collaboration between the Program on Humanitarian Policy and Conflict Research (HPCR) at Harvard University and the Graduate Institute of International Studies in Geneva (HEI) makes it possible to draw upon the research capacities and local networks of both organizations, and foster collaboration and discussion of the project's core research areas among the relevant policy and academic communities around the world. FUNDING This project is made possible in part through the generous funding of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC).
