The stated aims and goal of the project, according to the Harvard Law School site is as follows:[3]
The mission of the Harvard Negotiation Project (HNP) is to improve the theory and practice of conflict resolution and negotiation by working on real world conflict intervention, theory building, education and training, and writing and disseminating new ideas.
The director of the project as of 2008 is Professor James Sebenius.[3]
The program was initiated in 1979, at the time of the commencement of activities the joint heads of the project were William Ury and Roger Fisher.[1][2]
The project published a text titled Getting to Yes in 1981.[1] Getting It DONE: How to Lead When You're Not in Charge was published in 1998, Difficult Conversations: How to Discuss What Matters Most in 1999, and Beyond Reason: Using Emotions as you Negotiate was published in 2006.[2]
