Thought Leadership in Mediation and Alternative Dispute Resolution

Each year, the Foundation produces innovative projects and undertakes research into ADR, such as our reports on improving diversity in commercial mediation and looking into public inquiries.

We also lead a variety of outreach projects for the next generation. These include the National Student Negotiation Competition and the New Dialogues Programme for Young Leaders. In addition, we spearhead conversations with governments, industry bodies and other NGOs.

As part of our drive to improve learning and standards in the fields in which we work, we also run a professional development network.

Our Foundation projects are entirely supported by CEDR and by our associations with various law firms, organisations and individuals.

Previous Research Projects

CEDR has conducted several research projects which have sought to better understand how individuals, organisations and governments manage and resolve conflict.

Setting up and Running a Public Inquiry

CEDR’s work on public inquiries - The CEDR Inquiry on Inquiries - was first triggered by a sense that there was scope for innovation in a process that had much overlap with many of the areas of conflict within which we operate.

The survey was carried out as part of CEDR’s work into reforming the processes of investigations and reviews and follows on from CEDR’s three-year project to reform the Public Inquiry process.

New Dialogues has changed the way I approach conflict as I am now more strategic when deciding when to listen and knowing how to use the words I hear well. This knowledge helps me understand the reason behind their conflicting reaction to the situation, and tailor the conversation and resolution in a way that considers the interests of both parties.
