Strategic Plan, 2024-2029

The Kroc Institute is a global leader in peace studies, advancing scholarly research and comprehensive education, and cultivating innovation in reflective practice and public engagement. Grounded in the framework of strategic peacebuilding, we serve as a trusted resource for researchers, students, peace practitioners, policymakers, and communities affected by violence.

We will extend our expertise as a world-leading resource able to address complex local and global challenges, committed to exploring decolonial and intersectional approaches to peace and justice. Our interdisciplinary research and education will focus on issues ranging from ending civil war through peace processes, to dismantling structures of inequality, to addressing the violent consequences of environmental crises.

Building on the previous strategic plan, the Kroc Institute will center its focus on the following three areas for 2024-2029, with goals and objectives for each.

1. Research

2. Policy, Practice & Outreach

3. Educational Programs:

• Undergraduate

• Master of Global Affairs

• Ph.D.
