THEMATIC SHORT COURSES

RESEARCH AT CERAH

The humanitarian sector faces various challenges, one of which is the diversity of understanding of the humanitarian concepts. 

Although practitioners and scholars acknowledge that humanitarians share a common set of principles, values and concepts, the definition and uses of such terms is by no means consensual. “Resilience ”, “Humanity”, “Protection”: these central concepts in humanitarian action refer to a range of meanings and associated practices, depending on the geographical, organizational, but also disciplinary background of the people using them.

Hence, in an expanding and ever more diverse sector, understanding each other in humanitarian contexts has become particularly important.

CERAH, together with a range of partners is developing the Humanitarian Encyclopedia which intends to collectively interrogate how humanitarian concepts are used across time, geographical contexts, organizational cultures, disciplinary backgrounds and professions.
