Engaged in diverse research topics, our faculty focuses on promoting peace, justice, and corporate responsibility. In the area of peace, we conduct research on business and peace, conflicts and wars, humanitarian assistance, and cyber threats and attacks. In the field of social justice, we explore topics such as inclusiveness, human rights, anti-corruption, and technology and ethics. Within corporations, our research includes reducing illicit financial flows and misreporting, building accountable and transparent corporations. Through our research, we strive to contribute to a more peaceful, just, and sustainable world.
