Over Multidisciplinary Institute for the Resolution of Conflicts MIRCURY

Multidisciplinary Institute for the Resolution of Conflicts (MIRCURY) is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the reduction of (violent) conflict. We represent an innovative model: a multidisciplinary and collaborative way to conflict resolution, in which we facilitate dialogues and initiatives where socio-psychological, economic and political drivers of conflict are addressed comprehensively.

MIRCURY believes that conflicts end not with the signing of a peace treaty but when the people involved in the conflict have made the conscious and deliberate shift in their mindset and agreed on a shared vision and narrative for the future. We look holistically at the absence of trust, distorted power relations and unequal socio-economic opportunities in conflict settings: people, power and prosperity.

We work innovatively in multidisciplinary teams of experts and in long-term engagements. These teams - composed of lawyers, socio-psychologists, entrepreneurs, diplomats, engineers, artists, urban planners, economists, anthropologists, security experts and others - bring together new methods of trust-building, scenario planning, and entrepreneurship. It is our firm belief that a mixture of expertise and a combination of methods will improve understanding and contribute in more sustainable peace solutions.

MIRCURY (established in 2022) is managed by two senior former diplomats with diplomatic and mediation experience in Washington (jointly), Moscow, Beijing, Abu Dhabi (jointly), Kabul, Nicosia, and Brussels. They have left foreign offices to dedicate their public and private sector experiences to conflict resolution and peace building, and with both modesty and ambition to drive this innovative conflict management approach.
