PERMANENT ARBITRATION SEMINAR

The Permanent Arbitration Seminar is a discussion forum for all topics related to international arbitration, in all of its fields: trade arbitration, international investments arbitration, and international public law arbitration.

The seminar is structured in a way that, after the initial exposition by the main speaker on a specific theme, a discussant introduces the questions that will later be subject to debate.
