CAPAZ highlights the academic quality and thematic and disciplinary diversity of the proposals received, as well as the motivation to present the proposals and develop them, considering the current health emergency. In view of the difficulties and challenges of undertaking research at such a time, CAPAZ has opened up the possibility of adapting the projects to current circumstances, both in terms of methodology and work programmes. The results of the call also recognise the efforts made by CAPAZ to promote research and publicise the role of academia in peacebuilding in Colombia.
