ARTIS International is a scientific research organization that focuses on behavioral dynamics affecting conflict. Its work is field orientated, and the fellows come from a wide variety of disciplines.

The company has a significant focus on the limits of rational choice or utilitarian thinking in decision making. This can be seen in numerous publications including: "Religious and Sacred Imperatives in Human Conflict"[1] ","Sacred Bounds on Rational Resolution of Violent Political Conflict",[2] "The Devoted Actor's Will to Fight and the Spiritual Dimension of Human Conflict",[3] "Challenges Researching Terrorism from the Field"[4]

ARTIS International was founded in 2006 by Scott Atran, Richard Davis, and Marc Sageman.

ARTIS International collaborates with a variety of partners including The Minerva Research Initiative, Carnegie Corporation of New York, The Center for the Resolution of Intractable Conflict at The University of Oxford, The United Nations Counter-Terrorism Executive Directorate, and The Templeton Foundation.
