It's a great pleasure for us to share some of the work pursued at the Senator George J. Mitchell Institute for Global Peace, Security and Justice at Queen's University Belfast.  Building on the excellent work done since the Institute's establishment in 2016, colleagues and students have produced superb contributions across all of the Institute's fields of activity.

Academics have produced field-defining research on many different aspects of peace, security and justice.  This has drawn on expertise from many disciplines, and has generated work of global importance.  Students from different disciplines and from many different backgrounds have pursued pioneering research, particularly at graduate student level.

There has been considerable contribution made - locally, nationally, internationally - in relation to societal engagement, with academic and professional services colleagues collaborating very successfully.  And there have been valuable partnerships sustained and established with academic and other expert bodies.
