The proprietary research and educational tool of the N.EA team is the eNego electronic negotiation system. This system was developed as a product of a scientific project funded by the Polish National Science Center and serves as a tool for simulating multi-criteria bilateral negotiation processes. As an electronic negotiation system, it operates online and facilitates synchronous or asynchronous negotiations, incorporating decision support in pre-negotiation, negotiation, and post-negotiation phases. By using this system, users have the opportunity to test their knowledge in both negotiation theory, concerning remote contract negotiations, and decision theory—verifying skills in defining preferences accurately and using this knowledge to reach the most advantageous negotiation outcome.

The eNego system allows for conducting scientific research on electronic negotiations. Numerous questionnaires and psychometric tests implemented in the system as part of pre- and post-negotiation surveys have so far collected interesting data describing behavioral and formal aspects of conducting negotiations via electronic support systems. Examples of papers reporting results of such experiments include:

Those interested in participating in negotiation sessions or incorporating eNego into their educational process are invited to contact the head of the N.EA team.
