A major research evaluation undertaken by Uppsala University gives high marks to the research at the Department. The evaluation, known as Quality and Renewal 2011 (KoF11), comprised two different parts. Firstly, a peer-review process, conducted by distinguished scholars of the international research community. Secondly, a bibliometric study of publications in the period 2007–2010.

The Department of Peace and Conflict Research presently operates around 50 research projects dealing with all major themes of contemporary research in the field.
They are organized into three sections:
(1) Research Programs, listed in the menu, which may have several projects
(2) Exchange and Dialogue Programs
(3) Ongoing Projects, which may involve several researchers, listed alphabetically according to responsible researcher.
In addition the following marks are used to indicate the main thematic thrust of the different projects.
(Adopted at departmental board meetings, 2005-12-09 and 2006-03-30)
After several years of discussions - among other things prompted by financial constraints, a declining share of faculty funds in research financing and increased competition for external research funds - the Department has elaborated this strategy.
The strategy takes it departure from a larger overriding goal, which has been subdivided into 5 subgoals. Means aimed at the attainment of each subgoal are then listed. Finally, a number of methods for evaluating what has been done are identified.
