PaCE (Patterns of Conflict Emergence) is a five-year European Research Council (ERC) funded project (2022-26), based in the Department of Political Science at Trinity College Dublin.   The project aims to uncover recurring patterns and temporal sequences in the run-up to war and conflict,  and through the use of machine-learning methods, provide tools to forecast interstate and civil wars, with a range of data from financial markets, news articles, diplomatic documents and satellite imagery.
