Gudrun Østby and Security Dialogue, edited by Mark B. Salter. Education PRIO provides a limited number of education services. The Research School on Peace and Conflict is a multidisciplinary training center, where a number of courses are taught by visiting scholars. Partner institutions include the University of Oslo and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. Courses concentrate on academic writing, research methodology and topical issues. Until 2013, PRIO and Bjørknes College provided joint master's degree programs with Australian National University and the University of Stellenbosch in international political economy and conflict dynamics, as well as peace and conflict studies. PRIO Annual Peace Address Initiated in 2010, the PRIO Annual Peace Address intends to create awareness, stir public debate and increase understanding about the conditions for peace in the world. Inviting researchers and other people with strong views on peace-related topics, the idea is to challenge the peace research community by suggesting new measures and bringing new perspectives on peace and war. 2010: Jon Elster: Justice, Truth, Peace 2011: John Lewis: The Role of Nonviolence in the Struggle for Liberation 2012: Azar Gat: Peace for Our Time? 2013: Jody Williams: The Power of Global Activism 2014: Paul Collier: Civil Conflict: What are the Current Risks, and What are the Realistic Solutions? 2015: John Mueller: The Dangers of Alarmism 2016: Francesca Borri: The Journalistic Contribution to Peace 2017: Obiageli Ezekwesili: Education and Peace 2018: Debarati Guha-Sapir: The Epidemiology of Armed Conflicts 2019: Steven Pinker: Enlightenment Now!
