Topic: IANUS

Welcome to IANUS

IANUS is a synonym for natural and engineering peace research in exchange with the social sciences and humanities. IANUS understands itself as a multi- and trans-disciplinary network of scientists at TU Darmstadt.

Since January 2018, IANUS is part of Forum for Interdisciplinary Research. IANUS activities are coordinated by the FiF office in accordance with the IANUS speakers.

The main focus of further work lies in the promotion of research projects on topics of scientific-technical peace and conflict research within the framework of the FiF funding programme.
