The Uppsala Conflict Data Program (UCDP) is a data collection project on organized violence housed at Uppsala University in Sweden. The program aims to gather information on armed conflict and make it publicly available online and in its annual report, “States in Armed Conflict.” The UCDP collects both quantitative and qualitative data on organized violence (e.g. fatality statistics, georeferenced data, armed actor and conflict descriptions) that is used by social science researchers, journalists and policymakers.

Famous quotes containing the words conflict, data and/or program:
“I am at peace with God. My conflict is with Man.”
—Charlie Chaplin (1889–1977)
“This city is neither a jungle nor the moon.... In long shot: a cosmic smudge, a conglomerate of bleeding energies. Close up, it is a fairly legible printed circuit, a transistorized labyrinth of beastly tracks, a data bank for asthmatic voice-prints.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“But one day he met a man who was a whole lot badder,
And now he’s dead, and we ain’t none the sadder.”
