SaferGlobe is an independent peace and security think tank, studying and developing tools for the promotion of lasting peace and security.
”Why do we use so much effort researching war instead of peace? How can we create knowledge that can be implemented to promote peace and produce the practical solutions for solving security problems?” These were the questions we were asking ourselves when we realized there was a need for doers in peace and security, and so was SaferGlobe born in 2009.
Our members range from seasoned experts to young academics, and from military personnel to peace researchers. Many of our members have practical experience from conflict or post-conflict zones. SaferGlobe has published over twenty reports, many of which have been covered by the Finnish television or other national or international news media. Our work in English has been limited, but is now growing. We focus on creating tools and combining knowledge with technology.
OUR WORK
Understanding peace and security requires cooperation between different academic disciplines as well as practice and theory. Through our network of researchers, we have expertise on a wide range of topics from local security priorities to conflict sensitive business, arms control and development of crisis management.
