On 8 July 2024, ANCIP was represented at the European Conference on Politics and Gender, taking place from 8-10 July at Ghent University. ANCIP fellow S. Elisabeth Warnck co-chaired a panel on Feminist approaches to regional peace and security in the Global South, with Dr. Karmen Tornius (Freie Universität Berlin).

In February and March 2024, ANCIP fellow, Camille Vern, spent two months as a visiting research fellow at the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs (NUPI).

Camille Vern, research fellow and PhD candidate at ANCIP, conducted research at the headquarters of the African Union from the beginning of August until the end of November 2023. During her time in Addis Ababa, she met with relevant stakeholders at the AU, experts on mediation and preventive diplomacy, as well as representatives of partners of the continental institution.

In late August of 2023 one of our ANCIP-researchers travelled to Ghana to explore the Ghanian peace structures. Upon her arrival she had the opportunity to discuss peacebuilding mechanisms with public officials, academics and civil society. The objective of this research visit was to understand how different actors work together to foster peacebuilding.
