The European Institute of Peace (EIP) is a new initiative at the heart of Europe with a global scope. The EIP is an independent partner to the European Union and Europe, augmenting its global peace agenda through mediation and informal dialogue. The Institute pursues multi-track diplomacy and acts as a flexible, external tool in support of EU mediation efforts where the EU has limited freedom to act. It also serves as an operational hub, and connects existing expertise and shares knowledge and lessons on European mediation.

ODS provided organisational support and facilitated a collaborative process in which EIP with the help of ODS could arrive at an assessment of the organisation.

ODS further supported EIP in its change management process during its organisational restructuring.
