This symposium aims to draw on a broad range of disciplines and expertise to explore the ways that scholars and communities conceptualise and implement truth, justice and peace, how transitional justice and peace processes inform and are informed by local knowledge, traditions, interests and values, and how senses and histories of identity may be implicated in the pursuit of truth, justice and peace.

To encourage and support long-term collaboration and networking, participants may apply for seed funding provided by the British Academy. These collaborations must be international and take the form of either partnerships or groups. The funding is designed to facilitate collaborations that arise directly from the symposium. Participants are also eligible to apply for CONNECT, a follow-up programme for participants of Frontiers of Research Symposia offered by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. It provides grants for short working visits to Germany or the United Kingdom that can be taken up at any time following the symposium.

Applications may be submitted online until 29 October 2025. Only applications received by the deadline will be considered.
