Statement by the board of the German Association for Peace and Conflict Research (AFK) on academic freedom

Background on AFK

The German Association for Peace and Conflict Research (AFK) was founded in 1968 as a German scientific association of peace and conflict researchers from all academic disciplines. The AFK currently has over 300 members and is represented by the board and the twelve-member team.

The AFK promotes research that contributes to a deeper understanding of the causes, forms and consequences of war and peace and thus aims to provide the basis for peace-oriented political practice. In addition, it supports (where possible interdisciplinary) cooperation between academics by setting up working groups on peace and conflict research topics. It also represents the concerns of the peace and conflict research community in science funding bodies, in public and in politics.
