Evolution or Revolution: Have We Mastered International Arbitration or Do We Need a New Blueprint for the Future?

Full Schedule of Anniversary Events

Wednesday, 30 August, 5pm-8pm

Advokatfirman Delphi, Mäster Samuelsgatan 17, Stockholm

Young ITA @ ICAL: 20 Years of Energy Arbitration in Stockholm hosted by Young ITA and Advokatfirman Delphi and supported by Young Arbitrators Sweden

Presented by Young ITA
Hosted by Delphi
Supported by 
Young Arbitrators Sweden

Join us for an evening of discussion and debate, followed by drinks. The program is tailored for junior practitioners but all are welcome to attend. We hope that you will be able to join us for what we are sure will be a very lively and enjoyable evening.

Stockholm energy: These two words do not only describe the air of creativity and openness that surrounds the most populous city of the Nordic countries, but also what sets Stockholm apart from other seats of arbitration. Stockholm’s energy disputes bridge the gap between East and West, between investors and states and between coal and carbon credits. Our distinguished speakers have many stories to tell and we are happy to hear them and to discuss them with you in an informal setting, followed by drinks.

Additional information and detailed agenda are available here.

20th Anniversary Conference hosted by the ICAL AA

An international conference to celebrate twenty years of study and research in international arbitration at the Master Program of International Commercial Arbitration Law at Stockholm University. The conference will bring together leading arbitration practitioners, academics, and arbitrators from all over the world to examine whether we have truly mastered international arbitration in the last two decades or whether the world today requires a new blue print for the future to address new and ever changing legal questions, users of international arbitration, and geopolitical issues. Can the international arbitration community simply evolve or is it time for a revolution?
