Harvard Negotiation Project

The Harvard Negotiation Project is an academic initiative at Harvard University focused on studying and improving negotiation and conflict resolution techniques. It brings together scholars and practitioners to develop effective ways for people and organizations to negotiate fairly, reach agreements, and resolve conflicts amicably. Their work emphasizes interest-based negotiation, emphasizing understanding underlying needs rather than positions, to foster mutually beneficial outcomes. The project has influenced negotiation practices worldwide, including the development of principles used in diplomacy, business, and everyday disputes, promoting collaboration, understanding, and sustainable agreements.
