Description
The Affiliate Research Conversations Request is run by the Mershon Center for International Security Studies at The Ohio State University. It gives affiliates access to 1039 Derby for small meetings relevant to the Center’s mission, especially work-in-progress discussions and brainstorming conversations. Support focuses on providing a setting for research exchange, with refreshments and modest technical assistance available in some cases.
The Center encourages requests involving more than one affiliate and reflecting its multidisciplinary approach. Non-affiliates are welcome to participate. Mershon’s broader research priorities encompass international, national, and human security, including diplomacy, conflict, peacemaking, governance, and cooperative problem-solving, with particular emphasis on the human and social dimensions of complex problems.
