Conflict Research Consortium (CRC) Contact: Heidi and Guy Burgess, Directors burgess@colorado.edu The University of Colorado Conflict Research Consortium, directed by Guy and Heidi Burgess, was founded in 1988 as a multi-disciplinary center for research and teaching about conflict and its transformation. With its primary focus on difficult and intractable conflicts, the Consortium has pioneered efforts to use rapidly advancing information technologies to provide citizens in all walks of life with the information that they need to deal with conflicts more constructively. The Consortium sees such efforts to enhance and mobilize the skills of the general population as critical to efforts to deal with complex, society-wide conflicts. This work, which dates back to the earliest days of the Internet, has now led to the posting of new versions of CRInfo: The Conflict Resolution Information Source (www.CRInfo.org) and Beyond Intractability, the website of the Intractable Conflict Knowledge Base Project (www.BeyondIntractability.org). These systems, which were constructed with the help of more than 250 experts, offer succinct, executive summary-type articles on almost 400 topics as well as links to recommended sources (Web, print, and audiovisual) of more in-depth information. Also available are over a hundred hours of online interviews, featuring more than 70 distinguished scholars and practitioners, and comprehensive bibliographies with more than 20,000 citations. The Consortium has also produced four online training programs and simulations (one on intractable conflict, one on the framing of environmental conflicts, one on racial conflicts, and another on transformative approaches to conflict.
