Open Volunteer Positions
Volunteers are the driving force of the Institute for Global Negotiation. All of our projects, initiatives and events are executed by members of the Institute passionate to promote negotiation as a tool to address global challenges and foster cooperation. As we are globally oriented, the overwhelming majority of our work is done remotely.
As the IGN is growing and our activities are increasing, our network of academics and practitioners is rapidly expanding. We are always looking for bright minds seeking to make a difference and join one of our teams.

All positions are volunteer work and call for individuals who are proactive, self-organised, and comfortable taking initiative in a remote, international environment. No specific professional background is required, but experience in communications, project management, or digital tools is helpful. Most importantly, we value curiosity, reliability, and a collaborative mindset – qualities that make it easy to contribute and integrate within the diverse and global IGN Team.

You’ll gain experience managing real projects, strengthen your communication and organisational skills, and help shape how our community connects and grows. It’s a chance to contribute your ideas. The time commitment is about 4 hours per week on average, depending on individual availability and project needs.
