The Humanitarian and Conflict Response Institute (HCRI) was founded 12 years ago in August. Since then it has gone on to educate hundreds of students, publish high-impact research, and form innovative partnerships within the humanitarian sector.<\/p>\n

\n

“2019-2020 has been a challenging year for the Humanitarian and Conflict Response Institute. Over the past decade, we have grown in often difficult circumstances. HCRI was founded during a major economic crisis, and we now find ourselves facing another, which is combined with an unprecedented health emergency.\u00a0 The year ahead will provide us with important questions and research issues. The black lives matter seismic shift in race relations will also entail a thorough rethink of how we work and how we teach. These challenges are daunting, but an Institute devoted to the response to crises and disasters is well equipped to engage with them.”<\/p>\n

Researching the Impact of Attacks on Healthcare (RIAH)<\/a><\/h3>\n

Work has continued on the Researching the Impact of Attacks on Healthcare (RIAH) consortium project, exploring the impact of attacks on healthcare in conflict settings.<\/p>\n

\n

“The Researching the Impact of Attacks on Healthcare (RIAH) project is a multi-institution and interdisciplinary research programme through which we aim to improve our understanding of the immediate, long-term, and wider impacts of attacks on healthcare on populations in countries that have experienced armed conflict. The project started in January 2019 and HCRI has been leading a consortium of partners working together to generate new evidence about how these attacks affect civilian populations. This research is particularly important as the world faces a global health pandemic.”<\/p>\n

For anybody who couldn’t attend our #Pride<\/a> event yesterday, this is the short film we watched to kick off our discussion.<\/p>\n
