The Institute for Conflict Management at the European University Viadrina is dedicated to the goal of further establishing interest-based methods of conflict management in various areas of society and opening up new application possibilities. To this end, the Institute is active in research, teaching, practice and transfer in the field of peace and conflict research and accompanies conflict, dialogue and transformation processes.
Selected examples to illustrate the Institute's activities in the various areas and at their interfaces are the research cluster Tough Choices; the research and transfer project Mediation Hub with the Federal Foreign Office, the moderation of social dialogues; the regular Problem-Solving Workshop Peace Mediation & Crisis Diplomacy in Action; and the certificate programme ViAPACS.
