The Department of Peace and Conflict Research (DPCR) is managed by the Head of Department (prefekt) and the board of the Department. The board is chaired by the Head of Department and consists of elected members from four corporations: teacher/researchers (4 regular + 2 deputies), technical/administrative staff (1+1), PhD students (1+1), and Bachelors/Masters students (2+2). The board decides on guidelines for the Department's activities and on matters submitted to the board. The board convenes about three times per semester. The Head of Department, the deputy Head of Department, and the two Directors of Studies (one for the undergraduate and advanced level, and one for the doctoral level) and their deputies are responsible for the direct management of the Department's activities and the implementation of board decisions.
