The Geneva Graduate Institute is proud to present the Nagulendran Chair in Peace Mediation Inaugural Lecture, which marks the appointment of Professor Achim Wennmann as the first chair in peace mediation in Switzerland.

The Nagulendran Chair in Peace Mediation seeks to promote peace by stimulating, in the words of Marie-Laure Salles, Director of the Institute, “reflection and practice about how the conflict resolution and peace mediation field can offer responses and new approaches to re-establish dialogue and negotiations as the primary avenue for preventing and resolving violent conflicts and building new futures.”

Professor Achim Wennmann holds the chair with effect from 1 April 2024 for a term of five years.
