Welcome to the Centre for Conflict, Security and Terrorism (CST)
The Centre for Conflict, Security and Terrorism (CST) was established in 2011.
CST aims to promote the study of security politics within the UK and internationally. It is comprised of a group of staff and research students within the School of Politics and International Relations, as well as from other Schools within the University of Nottingham. CST seeks to cooperate and collaborate with other organisations interested in research into contemporary security issues. Please contact us if you are interested in the topics of our research or if you are a student interested in postgraduate study.
Staff and current Postgraduate Research Students of the School of Politics and International Relations are invited to apply for funding from the Centre. Full guidelines and application forms can be found on the School's intranet pages.
CST hosted its inaugural conference, ‘The Libyan Crisis and the UN's Responsibility to Protect’, on the 19-20th December 2011. A report of the conference is available.
