Institute for Conflict Management

Profile

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 illustrating the institute's activities in various areas and at their interfaces include the Impact Hub research and transfer project with the German Federal Foreign Office and the Robert Bosch Foundation, the moderation of societal dialogues, the ViAPACS certificate program, the conflict moderation station V-KMS for Viadrina members, and regular problem-solving workshops in the International Diplomats Programme of the German Foreign Office.
