CRISE is a Development Research Centre within Oxford University supported by the Department for International Development (DFID).
The overall aim of CRISE is to investigate relationships between ethnicity, inequality and conflict, with the aim of identifying economic, political, social and cultural policies which promote stable and inclusive multiethnic societies.
CRISE is made up of a central CRISE HQ based at Queen Elizabeth House, University of Oxford, and Partner Institutions across the world; staff at HQ and the PIs work in close collaboration on an agreed research programme. The Centre is also developing collaborative links with other experts, commissioning working papers on selected topics to support the programme.
