INSEAD Professors Honoured with the 2025 Financial Times Responsible Business Education Award for Teaching
We are thrilled to announce that INSEAD has been awarded the 2025 Financial Times Responsible Business Education Award for Teaching, celebrating excellence in addressing global challenges through education.
This prestigious recognition highlights the Advanced Online Negotiations (AON) course, developed by Professors Eric Uhlmann, Horacio Falcão, and Roderick Swaab, co-founders of the NCMC. Their innovative approach to teaching negotiation equips participants with the tools to tackle pressing global issues such as climate change, sustainability, and poverty.
We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Eric, Horacio, Roderick, and everyone who contributed to this remarkable achievement. Their work exemplifies the NCMC’s mission to advance negotiation and conflict management for the greater good.

The NCMC invites faculty from different disciplines and schools to connect with us to share, improve, and innovate pedagogically.
The NCMC is a proud producer and host of the award-winning "Negotiation Course for the World" project.
Negotiation Course for the World
Welcome to Negotiation Course for the World! This project provides any instructor around the world with a full set of free materials to teach negotiation courses easily. The materials are the result of many years of work to help develop a more collaborative and harmonious global future. The Negotiation Course for the World is more than just negotiation; it is about transforming lives and creating a world where individuals, communities, and organisations can foster understanding or resolve conflicts to craft superior mutual-gain solutions together.
Through this platform, we provide professors and instructors free access to world-class negotiation resources and knowledge that can make a real difference. Here you can find a wealth of free negotiation tools, courses, and educational materials, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their resources or location, can access and teach up-to-date, evidence-based negotiation in a confident, fun and interactive way. In time, we will be adding several train-the-trainer videos to help you teach all materials available, as well as translating them into several languages. Our goal is to empower individuals and institutions with the skills they need to efficiently navigate different types of negotiations, make informed decisions, and build lasting relationships.
Join us in this journey, download all you need, contact us with your questions, and in time contribute your lessons learned or materials for our constant improvement as we work towards a more peaceful and prosperous world through the art and science of negotiation.
INSEAD Virtual Reality
VR Case: Spiral Flow
The NCMC worked with AVR to produce Spiral Flow, a cutting-edge negotiation case using VR technology. VR technology is quite unique as it immerses the student into the experience, brings them much closer to the action, including emotionally, and provides an individualized experience without interference from class peers. The instructor can use Spiral Flow in several different ways, for example, selecting if the students will follow one of two characters exclusively, or randomly allocate students among both characters that allows the students to experience how priming and taking on different roles deeply influence the positions and outcome in real life negotiations. Students also respond several multiple-choice questions along the way, while the professor get the results graphically in real time that allows for an immediate debrief of their answers. Given its modular format, different professors have already taught Spiral Flow in classes that lasted between 1 and 16hrs. At the end, the students are asked to submit a proposal on behalf of their character, and measure how well they learned throughout the whole experience.
