PRIO was founded in 1959 and became a fully independent institute in 1966. It was one of the first centres of peace research in the world, and it is Norway’s only peace research institute. Its founding and early influence were instrumental in projecting the idea of peace research.
PRIO invites you to a seminar with Karin Aggestam, associate professor at Lund University and deputy member of PRIO’s board. The seminar will be chaired by Hilde Henriksen Waage, who will also give a comment to Aggestam’s talk.

PRIO and Pax Publishing are proud to be able to invite you to the launch of Hanne Eggen Røislien’s Bosettere på hellig grunn: En reise blant jødiske nybyggere [On Holy Ground: A Journey Among the Jewish Settlers of the Middle East]. Written with the general reader in mind, the book provides a personal account of Røislien’s encounters with various individuals and groups in the Middle East.
The launch event will include a presentation of the book, after which the audience will be invited to discuss the topic: Can We Negotiate With Terrorists? The launch will be chaired by Sverre Tom Radøy. A major element underlying the Bush administration’s so-called War Against Terror is the principle that it is not possible to negotiate with ‘terrorists’ – a term often equated with extremist movements.
The International Peace Research Institute, Oslo (PRIO) and the University of Oslo have the pleasure of inviting you to two linked seminars with Middle East expert Professor William B. Quandt.
The first seminar will focus on ‘What Has Worked?’, the second on ‘What Has Not Worked?’. Both seminars will be chaired by Hilde Henriksen Waage, Associate Professor (UiO) and Senior Researcher (PRIO).
