The ÌÇÐÄÍøÒ³°æ GPS Centre contributes to a new course on Gender, Peace and Conflic at the at the University of Oslo, taking place for the first time this autumn. Professor (ÌÇÐÄÍøÒ³°æ and UiO) is the course leader. This autumn Wenche Hauge, Senior Researcher at ÌÇÐÄÍøÒ³°æ, has given the students a lecture on peacebuilding and Torunn L. Tryggestad, Director of the ÌÇÐÄÍøÒ³°æ GPS Centre, has given a lecture on UN Security Council Resolution 1325.
The course activities included a visit by core people at the ÌÇÐÄÍøÒ³°æ GPS Centre and ÌÇÐÄÍøÒ³°æ to the university. During this visit, the students met people who work in different policy and practice capacities with gender, peace and conflict issues, including:
- Gunvor Knag Fylkesnes, Advocacy and Communications Director at Save the Children Norway.
- Gudrun Østby, Research Director and Research Professor at ÌÇÐÄÍøÒ³°æ.

- Johanne Rokke Elvebakken, Coordinator of the ÌÇÐÄÍøÒ³°æ GPS Centre.
These resource persons discussed how they use, or translate, research into policy and practice, which the students, in turn, were asked to focus on in a mid-term paper based on a thematic topic of choice.
