INTERNATIONAL NETWORK AIA European Network of Mediation Centres CONCILIA is pleased to introduce the AIA European Network of Mediation Centres (the Network). The Network has been created to increase the quality of mediation as well as to promote and encourage its use to legal practitioners and the general public. It is AIA s view that, even though the benefits of mediation are generally accepted among legal practitioners, many still opt for litigation, because it is what the client wants, it is the way we know best or because of a lack of their own direct experience leading to it is the only way. The AIA and Members of the Network believe that more can be done to improve this by joining forces in order to achieve our common goal: the establishment of access to quality information and services for the comprehensive range of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) in general, and mediation, in particular, as a primary means of dispute resolution. The Network was created in order to serve two purposes. On the one hand, it is aimed at putting in touch the Members of the Network and keeping them acquainted with the activities of their sibling Centres throughout Europe and around the globe, so that they can work together in achieving their common goal. On the other hand, this Network was created to share information concerning mediation and the Network with the general public, business and professional advisers in order to increase public awareness.
