The twelfth annual Global Negotiation Conference will take place from the ​7-11 July 2024 at the University of Zurich. The conference will include workshops and presentations on theoretical and practical aspects of negotiation before culminating in a day long simulation on Deep Sea Mining.

The aim of the simulation is to demonstrate to students the importance of procedural design on negotiation processes. Students begin by designing the process without knowledge of which party they will subsequently represent in a multiparty negotiation. Once they have designed a process they are assigned to a party and receive another group’s ‘process design’ which they have to use for their multiparty negotiation.
