RI-LINKS2UA - Strengthening Research and Innovation Links towards Ukraine

The project WOSCAP seeks to enhance the capabilities of the EU in conflict prevention and peacebuilding by the best civilian means. First, it will assess the current capabilities of the EU to implement conflict prevention and peacebuilding measures, and identify gaps, best practices, lessons learned and research priorities. This will provide an evidence-base for recommendations to increase the future effectiveness of the EU's peace and conflict toolkit. Secondly, a ‘community of practice' and forums for dialogue will bring together policymakers, civilian and military practitioners, academic experts and the beneficiaries of EU interventions. Its purpose will be to validate and apply this evidence base, explore civil-military synergies, make best use of innovative technologies, and develop policy priorities which both crystallise past successes and explore options for change and improvement.
