CENTER FOR PEACE MEDIATION
The Center for Peace Mediation is a small university-based, practice-oriented research institution in the field of Applied Peace & Conflict Studies specializing on mediation in political conflicts and peace processes.
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, teaching and consultancy for diplomats, political decision-makers and civil society actors, the Center explores and supports the practice of peace mediation, seeking to enable it to be more effective, reflective and responsible. Bringing Viadrina`s concept of mutual knowledge transfer to foreign politics, the Center strategically interlinks science, practice and policy to stimulate joint learning and mutual support between the often siloed spheres. |
A red thread running through all those activities is to seek for constructive ways to deal with the dilemmas of peacemaking. |
