How can digital technology contribute to political mediation? The UN Department of Political Affairs, DiploFoundation, Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue, swisspeace and researchers from Harvard University joined forces to explore how digital technology is impacting the role of mediators in the prevention and resolution of violent conflict. Join our launch event on 13 March 2018, from 13:00-15:00 CET, in Geneva or online.

On 13 March, we will be launching the CyberMediation initiative, starting with lunch refreshments at 12:30 at the Geneva Internet Platform (2nd floor, WMO Building).  Alternatively, you can follow the discussion and actively participate online on our webinar platform from 13:00.

In this initial phase, the CyberMediation initiative consists of four main thematic streams:

• Impact of new technologies on mediation
