Peter van den Dungen's ongoing research focuses on various aspects of the development of a culture of peace. One manifestation of this is the proliferation, especially in recent years, of awards and honours for peacemaking efforts. Peter's research is concerned not only with documenting this phenomenon but also with interpreting it as being part of the 'emancipation' of the value and goal of peace in the late 20th century. Of particular interest is the question to what extent the institution of peace prizes itself contributes to peace. A second aspect of the contemporary emergence of a culture of peace is the growth of peace museums. The research monitors and analyses this development and aims to contribute to the consolidation as well as further expansion of these new peace education centres. His publications include Initiatives for the Pursuit and Institutionalisation of Peace Research in Europe (1996).

Adam Curle is Emeritus Professor in Peace Studies and has been closely involved with the work of the Centre since its inception. He published the foundation texts which have been critical in guiding the work of the Centre, including Making Peace, In the Middle and, more recently, Another Way. He maintains a close relationship with the Centre for Peace, Non-Violence and Human Rights, in Osijek, Croatia, and also with the 'Peace and Prosperity Group' in Zupanja, north Bosnia. The work of these two groups is broadly based and includes human rights advocacy, conflict resolution training, peace education, trauma therapy, rehabilitation and reconstruction.

John McConnell, who is an honorary research fellow, continues his work on the interface between spirituality and peacemaking. His recent book Mindful Mediation - A Handbook for Buddhist Peacemakers examines the applicability of Buddhist psychology to resolving conflict. His current research on mediation initiatives undertaken by Buddhist peacemakers involves work with Buddhist monks in Thailand, Sri Lanka and Cambodia.

Tamara Duffey, an Honorary Research Fellow, is currently working with the OSCE Mission in Kosovo as the Chief of Training in their Training Section. She served at the Centre from 1998-2000 as Research Fellow,  developing the Centre´s applied conflict resolution programmes, including the development of short courses and workshops in Conflict Resolution. Her research focuses on the significance of cultural issues in UN peacekeeping, and  on the training of military and civilian peacekeepers in conflict resolution and cultural skills. Other research interests include cultural approaches to CR, the conflict in Somalia and peacekeeping policy.
