The Center for International Studies and Research (CERI) was founded in 1952. It is France’s foremost center for research on the international political system. It is made up of some sixty researchers and fifteen support staff. The CERI’s mission is to bring together area studies specialists and international relations experts. It analyzes the contemporary political world, with a strong emphasis on an interdisciplinary approach: its research fellows include not only political scientists but also economists, sociologists, historians and anthropologists. Conflict analysis and resolution (particularly new forms of conflict and security issues) is a central component of CERI’s research program.

The Virginia Foundation for the Humanities (VFH) was created in 1974 to develop the civic, cultural, and intellectual life of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Its purpose is to bring the humanities fully into public life, assisting individuals and communities in their efforts to understand the past, confront issues in the present, and shape a desirable future. In more recent years, its scope has expanded to include not only Virginians, but those with whom Virginians have ties of family and culture across the globe. The Institute on Violence and Survival of the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities was founded in 1993, with support from the Rockefeller Foundation, the Commonwealth of Virginia, and private donors. Its focus is on the experience of violence from the perspective of its survivors. Towards this aim the Institute has sought to develop a survivors’ scholarship. This scholarship addresses the details and particularities of violence and its survival, and demonstrates how personal suffering on the large scale of war and mass violence shapes and reshapes public life.
