The development of this multimedia project goes along with the definition of the CAPAZ Institute as a space that enables the creation of networks and identifies strategic partners to start off or strengthen projects involving universities which make part of the partnership with the Institute and those that will make part of it in a future.
The objective of the project is to identify and systematically organize knowledge production initiatives regarding studies in peace and post-conflict developed by universities, research centers and other types of academic institutions and networks in Colombia and Germany. The project will facilitate the search for contacts using key words throughout an internet platform.
The German-Colombian Peace Institute, CAPAZ is interested in promoting an exchange of knowledge between Colombian and German researchers on peace related topics. To do so, it has created the NET-CAPAZ platform, as a virtual and collaborative space, which enables the generation of research projects on peacebuilding in Colombia.
NETCAPAZ will give researchers the opportunity to:
- Identify colleagues that are working on peace related topics in Colombia, where they are, and their areas of research.
- Find out about the researchers that are part of the CAPAZ network and the potential of their contribution to sustainable peacebuilding in Colombia.
- Disseminate information related to their research and academic events organised by their institutions.
- Build networks of academic and scientific cooperation within a vibrant German and Colombian research community working on peacebuilding.
