Team

     The Violence Research Lab work plan will be implemented as a joint team effort by all Violence Research Lab research group members and associates. Violence Research Lab’s activities have been grouped in several clusters and put in the competence of one Violence Research Lab member, according to his/her specific skills and competences and in line with previous research experience (please look at table 1.).The nationwide Violence Research Lab activities have been put in the competence of Central Violence Research Lab in Zagreb and 3 regional labs in Rijeka, Split and Osijek, which will be in charge of implementing the study in their region.

    Since this project is created to be a breakthrough in violence researches and possible a turning point in scientific perception of violence with an effective practical impact, we strongly believe that we will have not only opportunity, but also an obligation to continue our work in that direction even after envisaged 5 years. That’s why we will submit several funding applications during the project. Potentially, this will provide us a chance for ongoing research of violence using our own methodology. Also, a significant component of Violence research lab findings in terms of methodology and data should be commercialized thereby providing independent income that will be used for future research staff position.
