The Center for Peace Mediation is a small practice-oriented research institution in the field of Applied Peace & Conflict Studies based at European University Viadrina. The Center researches, supports and teaches mediation, dialogue and decision-making in peace processes and polarized societies.
|
The Center is part of the Institute for Conflict Management at European University Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder), Germany. It is home to an interdisciplinary team of scholar-practitioners.
Since 2018, the CPM is running the Mediation Hub, a research and transfer project on peace mediation with and at the Federal Foreign Office. |
In its research, support and teaching, the Center seeks to enable the mediation practice of diplomats, political decision-makers and civil society actors to be more effective, reflective and responsible.
The Center`s activities are driven by critical scientific analysis, hands-on methodological skills and an explicit societal impetus. |
A red thread running through all of the Center`s activities is to seek creative, yet responsible ways to deal with the multiple dilemmas in peace mediation and political decision making.
