We are back!
NOVA School of Law and NOVA Dispute Resolution Forum are officially launching the second edition of the NOVA Summer School on International Arbitration, which will take place from the 10th to the 14th of July in Lisbon, Portugal.
Much like last year’s edition, the Summer School seeks to give its participants the foundational basis of International Arbitration. The participants will have the unique opportunity to learn from international experts from different cities around the world and be truly exposed to the world of International Arbitration.
Classes will be taught by world-renowned Arbitration academics and practitioners and will cover the most relevant issues in International Arbitration such as arbitration agreements and proceedings, arbitral awards, and international investment protection.
In addition to having classes taught by reputable experts, the participants will have the opportunity to put into practice the knowledge they have acquired throughout the summer school by taking part in a mini Moot Court with the ICC Portugal Arbitration Rules
The mini Moot Court is specially designed to give participants a comprehensive theoretical and practical overview of arbitration. To assure the success of each participant in the mini moot Court with the ICC Arbitration Rules, there will be workshops covering soft skills and oral advocacy.
Alongside all these activities, NOVA Dispute Resolution Forum will organize socials and networking moments which will bring the participants closer to the international arbitration community.
If you are challenge-driven, interested in arbitration, have the ambition to pursue an international career and want to learn with the best while visiting the amazing city of Lisbon, see you at the NOVA Summer School on International Arbitration.
