Inauguration of Ass.-Prof.in Dr.in Rina M. Alluri as the Incoming UNESCO Chairholder for Peace Studies. The UNESCO Chair for Peace Studies was established at the University of Innsbruck in June 2008 due to the unique approach to Peace Studies as developed at the Unit for Peace and Conflict Studies and its Continuing Education Programme Peace, Development, Security and International Conflict Transformation. In light of the excellent results achieved and confirmed by the positive evaluations of the reports on its activities in 2015 and 2019, UNESCO renewed the agreement concerning the UNESCO Chair for Peace Studies at the University of Innsbruck until June 2023. The Chair was initially held by Prof. DDr. Wolfgang Dietrich who co-founded the Continuing Education Programme Peace, Development, Security and International Conflict Transformation in 2001 and acted as its Academic Director from 2013 to 2021. In September 2022, the Programme transitioned to becoming a regular Master’s Programme which enables it to be better integrated into the Austrian university system. The newly established regular Master’s Programme in Peace and Conflict Studies brings students from all around the world to Innsbruck to engage in peace and conflict theories and practices related to critical peace pedagogy, decolonization, justice and reconciliation, queer and intersectional approaches, humanitarian operations etc.
