This matters because timely, transparent information is essential for humanitarian awareness: policymakers, researchers, journalists, and aid organizations need to quickly understand where violence is escalating, how patterns are evolving over time, and which communities are most affected. By bridging the gap between academic research data and live event streams, the platform enhances situational awareness, supports evidence-based decision-making, strengthens accountability, and ultimately contributes to more informed responses to both emerging and protracted crises.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-383\" src=\"https:\/\/opendata.technikum-wien.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/open_conflict_map-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Screenshot of the Open Conflict dashboard\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/opendata.technikum-wien.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/open_conflict_map-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/opendata.technikum-wien.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/open_conflict_map-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/opendata.technikum-wien.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/open_conflict_map-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/opendata.technikum-wien.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/open_conflict_map-830x467.jpg 830w, https:\/\/opendata.technikum-wien.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/open_conflict_map-230x129.jpg 230w, https:\/\/opendata.technikum-wien.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/open_conflict_map-350x197.jpg 350w, https:\/\/opendata.technikum-wien.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/open_conflict_map-480x270.jpg 480w, https:\/\/opendata.technikum-wien.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/open_conflict_map-24x14.jpg 24w, https:\/\/opendata.technikum-wien.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/open_conflict_map-36x20.jpg 36w, https:\/\/opendata.technikum-wien.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/open_conflict_map-48x27.jpg 48w, https:\/\/opendata.technikum-wien.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/open_conflict_map.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It can be accessed here:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/open-conflict.vercel.app\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/open-conflict.vercel.app\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This project has been realized by the students Luca Bachmann, Feng Xuan Ming and Keving Forter in January 2026 as part of the course Data Ethics and Open Data at the UAS Technikum Wien as part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/hub.studyathome.technikum-wien.at\/\">StudyATHome hub<\/a>.
