INSTITUTE OF ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION STUDIES

The Institute for Environmental, Social and Conflict Resolution Studies is a joint undertaking of Fundación Agreste and the Faculty of Exact, Chemical and Natural Sciences of the University of Morón, created with the aim of defending and caring for the environment.  The institution promotes the putting into practice of alternative conflict resolutions in such a way that solutions are appropriate and address the interest of all members of society.  Meanwhile, it also encourages the multidisciplinary training of specialists in the subject, and the development of environmental and social studies such as intervention in, and prevention of, catastrophes.

This initiative is aimed at carrying out the environmental studies necessary to make development projects, as well as the management of environmental conflicts, environmentally sustainable.  Studies such as Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), and mediation in particular, gain relevance as a primary resource before using other available mechanisms such as administrative claims and mechanisms of the judicial system.
