EUROPEAN NEGOTIATION ASSOCIATION

Our history

The European Negotiation Association was founded on the 9th May 2025 as a Association 1901 under French Law. E.NE.A aims to become the leading European hub for research, theory-building, practice, and innovation in negotiation and conflict resolution.

Inspired by the mythological figure Aeneas, a symbol of resilience and strategic foresight, we seek to build a strong, cooperative, and forward-thinking negotiation community across Europe and beyond.
