The European Mediation Network Initiative (EMNI), which gathers mediators from over 20 countries, aims at promoting the development of mediation and harmonizing at the European level conflict resolution methods in their various fields of application.
In this perspective, and to provide an opportunity for sharing information, academic research and know-how necessary for the development of mediation across Europe, EMNI organizes on May 27 - 28, 2010, in Bourg La Reine - Grand Paris, France, an international conference on: “Mediation and civil society in Europe, toward a new mindset”

This conference will be composed of plenary presentations and a series of workshops held by practitioners and researchers from all over Europe. Workshops can focus in either of the following themes:
- Mediation and business (commercial, labour relationships)
- Mediation and citizenship
- Mediation, environment and territories
- Mediation and diversity
- Family mediation
- Mediation and health
- International mediation
- Institutional mediation
- The mediator: legitimacy and deontology
- Particular experiences in mediation
- Analysis of success or failure of mediation cases

These workshops should be practice-oriented and interactive and can gather viewpoints from researchers and  practitioners. Workshops may be managed by one person or more, in different formats (debate, multi-speaker presentations, co-organization, etc.). Each workshop will last 1.5 hour and be held either in French, or in English (for other languages, translation will be necessary).

Contribution proposals will be selected by the conference scientific committee based on their intellectual contribution and their originality. The committee shall ensure their diversity in terms of language, geographical origin and subject matter. After the conference, the scientific committee may propose the publication of  proceedings. The conference organizers do not have the necessary funds to reimburse the contributor’s travel expenses. Each contributor will then have to get to the conference by its own means.
