The International Peace Research Institute, Oslo (PRIO) is celebrating its 50th anniversary in June. We would like to open our anniversary week with an Anniversary Exhibition of photography that visually represents the subjects, and subject matter, of PRIO’s research into peace and conflict.
PRIO Events in New York
The presence of PRIO researchers at the annual conventions of the International Studies Association (ISA) is usually high. This year it is even higher than normal, due to the PRIO Anniversary events at ISA, and the fact that Nils Petter Gleditsch of PRIO is the current President of the ISA.
