Dear YAAP Members,
We cordially invite you to the upcoming
1) YAAP Anniversary Conference
We are very pleased to announce that
Professor Dr. Gilles Cuniberti, University of Luxembourg, will hold the keynote speech on
"Is Default Arbitration the Future of
International Commercial Dispute Resolution?"
Professor Cuniberti will present the idea of "default arbitration models“ and defend his thesis that arbitration should become the default mode of resolution of international commercial disputes.
Dr. Eva Storskrubb (Roschier, Stockholm) and
Dr. Ben Steinbrück (SZA, Mannheim) will challenge and discuss this proposition, moderated by
Professor Dr. Christian Koller (University of Vienna) and to be followed by a hopefully lively debate with the audience.
Thanks to VIAC as host of the venue and the cocktail reception offered by YAAP, the event is free of charge.
