The International Scientific and Practical Conference “Mediation & Universities 2.0” is a continuation of an initiative launched in 2024.
The event brings together scientists, practitioners, educators, lawyers, representatives of business, government, and the public sector, focusing on current trends and prospects for the development of mediation.
Mediation is seen not only as a method of conflict resolution, but also as an innovative mechanism for transforming relationships in the fields of education, justice, economics, and public policy. Universities serve as a platform where scientific research, educational programs, and practical initiatives in the field of mediation come together.The aim of the conference is to explore various aspects of mediation development, present the latest scientific and practical results, and identify areas for further integration of mediation into key areas of society.
