MICROCON, or ‘A Micro Level Analysis of Violent Conflict’ is a five-year research programme funded by the European Commission, which takes an innovative micro level, multidisciplinary approach to the study of the conflict cycle. MICROCON is being implemented by a consortium of 23 research institutions and involves over 60 researchers.
 
The consortium will be holding its Third Annual Conference at DIW Berlin on 2nd and 3rd July. The first day will be an internal workshop devoted to discussion of research results to date, and how to integrate findings from the different parts of the programme. The second day will include invited policymakers and will involve presentations of MICROCON’s policy relevant findings and discussions of how the programme’s work can be made more relevant and useful for policymakers. The discussions will be organised around four themes:
 
  • Individual and group motivations for mobilisation into violence, including gender identities
  • Migration, displacement and health
  • Poverty and coping -  effects of violent conflict at the individual and household levels and strategies for adaptation to violence
  • Institution-building during and after violent conflict, including the role of civil society
