The Center for Peace Technology (CPT), which sits within the Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter School at GMU, aims to foster sustainable peace in conflict-prone and -affected communities through incentivizing entrepreneurship, innovation, and strategic use of technology. Technology does not inherently lead to peaceful or violent outcomes; people use technology to unite or to divide. CPT aims to promote applications and policies that incentivize the peaceful use of technology for a more stable future.
