Introduction to research on civil wars. This course covers the causes, processes and solutions to civil conflicts and wars.

This course explores the application of data science, artificial intelligence, and technologies such as remote sensing to human rights research.Through interdisciplinary approaches, students will develop skills to responsibly apply and critically reflect on data science techniques in sensitive or high-risk environments.

This is an interdisciplinary course at the intersection of computer science, peace and security, global health, and climate science. Students will implement practical projects that involve the application of their skills on public data to address global challenges. In addition, students will critically engage with the ethical, social, and political implications of using AI for global challenges.

A two-day field trip to international organizations in Geneva - e.g., the World Trade Organization, the World Health Organization and the International Committee of the Red Cross.

Other topics include new threats, including transnational terrorist networks and other non-state actors, and the relationship between conflict and nation-building and democratization processes.

The University of Geneva is organizing a simulation seminar in collaboration with the Center for Security Studies (ETH Zurich), which aims at providing students from diverse academic backgrounds the opportunity to apply their political and technical knowledge to a case study of international relations. This year's case study concerns artificial intelligence and its use in warfare.

Gender-based discrimination and gender-based violence remain among the most pressing human rights issues of our time. Students will engage with a broad range of studies and approaches from data science, international relations, and comparative politics that explore the relationship between types of norms; gender and intersectional identities; discrimination; and violence.
