The theme<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today\u2019s world is increasingly marked by protracted wars and polarised societies. While political leaders routinely refer to peace as a priority, trust in mediation and peace processes is eroding. Even more worryingly, armed conflict is increasingly perceived as a legitimate way to settle international disputes and exercise power, while international law and human rights are often ignored.<\/p>\n

In the digital age, information and communication technologies (ICT) are profoundly reshaping the ways in which wars are waged and how dialogue and peaceful relations can be promoted. Although often associated with risks and threats, digital technologies can offer new opportunities to strengthen mediation, inclusion and access to peace processes, especially for women, young people and marginalised groups.<\/p>\n

The strategic use of technology becomes not only an object of study, but also a concrete tool for testing innovative peacebuilding practices. The digital dimension makes it possible, for example, to broaden participation, facilitate intercultural exchange, monitor crises in real time and make decision-making processes more transparent and accessible.
\nAgency for Peacebuilding has launched a series of research projects and initiatives that aim to explore, critically and constructively, the potential of digital technologies to foster a fairer, more effective and more sustainable peace. This page brings together the analyses and contributions AP has produced on digital technology applied to peace, which culminated in May 2025 with the seventh edition of the Bologna Peacebuilding Forum, entitled\u00a0\u201cSmart Peace. Tech. Human. Possible.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
