POINT

Processes of International Negotiation
(PIN) Program On International Negotiation Training (POINT)

The Program on International Negotiation Training (POINT, founded in 2017) of the Processes of International Negotiation Program (PIN, founded in 1989) is a network of trainers and coaches in public sector international negotiation processes.

The POINT network cuts through European training institutions, being associated with the PIN network of negotiation practitioners, researchers and educators. Through PIN it is linked to the the German Institute for Global and Area Studies, GIGA (Hamburg, Germany).

POINT serves the following purposes:

1. To use PIN's research to educate and train practitioners, students and other academics
2. Thereby providing GIGA with training facilities on international negotiation processes
3. To cooperate with institutions already providing international negotiation training
4. To support programs on international negotiation simulations, like MUN's
5. To support each other in collecting and sharing negotiation projects
6. To exchange exercises between the trainers in the POINT network
7. To exchange information between them
8. To act as a 'Trainers Union' whenever applicable
