​The Center for Peace Mediation is a small university-based institution for applied research in peace and conflict studies specializing on mediation in political conflicts and peace processes.

The Center is active in the areas of ​
Research & Analysis, Academic Teaching, Facilitation & Support and ​Policy & Strategy.


The Center is part of the Institute for Conflict Management at European University Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder), Germany, and home to an interdisciplinary team of scholar-practitioners.

​
Since 2018, the CPM is running a Research and Transfer Project on Peace Mediation with and at the Federal Foreign Office.


​The Center explores and supports the practice of peace mediation with the aim to enable it to be more effective, reflective and responsible.

One of the Center`s main characteristics is its transfer approach, which is based on close
collaboration between science, practice and policy and stimulates joint reflection, mutual learning and support of each others`work in and on peace mediation.

A special focus of its research activities is to seek for constructive ways to deal with the dilemmas of peace mediation. In its teaching, training and consultancy for diplomats, political decision-makers and civil society actors the Center interlinks methods, ethics and legal dimensions of peace mediation.
