Open Volunteer Positions
Volunteers are the driving force of the Institute for Global Negotiation. All of our projects, initiatives and events are executed by members of the Institute passionate to promote negotiation as a tool to address global challenges and foster cooperation. As we are globally oriented, the overwhelming majority of our work is done remotely.
As the IGN is growing and our activities are increasing, our network of academics and practitioners is rapidly expanding. We are always looking for bright minds seeking to make a difference and join one of our teams.
