“PEACE CULTURES thrive on and are nourished by visions of how things might be, in a world where sharing and caring are part of the accepted lifeways for everyone. The very ability to imagine something different and better than what currently exists is critical for the possibility of social change.” (Elise Boulding in Cultures of Peace 2000, 29)

EuPRA is a non-profit organization active since 1990 that engages in peace research. To stimulate and provide research and education relating to the pursuit of peace it organizes conferences and seminars on its own or in cooperation with other academic institutions.
