The Harvard Humanitarian Initiative’s Atrocity Prevention Lab inaugural conference took place on Tuesday, February 6, and Wednesday, February 7, 2024, from 09:00 AM to 12:30 PM EST (GMT -5) to explore the role of spatial methods in atrocity and conflict prevention.
Through a series of expert-led presentations, panels, and workshops, we explored how spatial methods, such as geographic information systems (GIS), can help us better understand patterns of violence, identify vulnerable populations, and develop effective conflict and atrocity prevention strategies. Whether you are an early warning practitioner, researcher, data analyst, policy maker, or simply curious about the applications of spatial methods for atrocity prevention, this event offered a unique opportunity to learn from leading experts in the field.
