The Role of Conflict Analysis in EU Conflict Intervention : From Conflict Analysis to Integrated Responses
In the contemporary global landscape, a complicated geopolitical shift is underway, driven by a rising tide of conflicts – in the European Union’s neighbourhood and beyond – with deepening polarisation. This transformation is reshaping international dynamics, with both a political and institutional push for the EU to take more responsibility for its own security. The EU’s approach to peacebuilding has been embedded in a wider ambition to “preserve peace, prevent conflicts and strengthen international security”. Given the mushrooming of security tensions, this concept requires sustained reflection. Heretofore regarded as a credible and reliable partner, recent violence in Ukraine, Nagorno-Karabakh, Kosovo, and Israel/Palestine, has increased geopolitical tensions and challenged multilateralism, proving that the EU’s must continuously re-assess its commitment to partnership, and the manner of its approach to peacebuilding.

Inaugural Lecture by Prof Jan vom Brocke
How can organizations and societies respond to continuous change? How can they sense change, adapt to change and constantly produce innovate services in times of change? In this talk, Professor vom Brocke introduces Process Science as an emerging interdisciplinary field to scientifically research change and to fundamentally advance capabilities of digital service innovation in times of change. Process science studies socio-technical processes, which involve coherent series of changes over time, entailing actions and events that include humans and digital technologies. The ubiquitous availability of digital trace data, combined with advanced data analytics capabilities, offer new and unprecedented opportunities to study such processes through multiple data sources. Process science is concerned with describing, explaining, and intervening in socio-technical change. It is based on four key principles; it (1) puts socio-technical processes at the center of attention, (2) investigates socio-technical processes scientifically, (3) embraces perspectives of multiple disciplines, and (4) aims to create impact by actively shaping the unfolding of socio-technical processes. Professor vom Brocke will provide many examples of Process Science across industries, and he will present the Process Science Methodology, which enables both organizations and universities to engage in digital service innovation in times of change.
