To help build a world free from violent conflicts
“Peace is not just the absence of conflict; peace is the creation of an environment where all can flourish, regardless of race, colour, creed, religion, gender, class, cast, or any other social markers of difference.” Nelson Mandela
The International Security and Conflict Analysis Network (iSCAN) was founded in Vienna, Austria, in 2019 to help address the growing challenges posed by today’s global conflicts. At the heart of iSCAN’s vision is the iSCAN’s Knowledge Lab (iSCAN-KL), a hub for producing, accessing, and exchanging knowledge on conflict, peace, and security. Through its iSCAN’s SOLVE Initiative, iSCAN empowers young people (SOLVERs) and engaged members of the international community (SOLVE Enablers) to take an active role in maintaining peace and security. iSCAN’s International Security Academy (SOLVE Academy) provides a platform for systemic analysis of international security challenges through the lens of human security and support the development of strategies for meaningful and impactful interventions. iSCAN’s International Security Dialogues (iSEDI) series further advances the mission by fostering open dialogue on pressing international security issues, engaging the public in conversations that matter for their communities and for the world.
