Our Values
Integration and diversity
IASC fosters arbitration as the best method to resolve international disputes with an inclusive approach in terms of gender, age and ethnicity.
Practice-based learning
The course is built on a mock case that walks students through all the steps of the procedure, finalizing with hearings where students can experience the arbitral procedure as real as it gets.
Network
IASC strives to create a community of people to exchange ideas, engage in debates and share cross-culture experiences, with the support of young arbitration groups such as, among others, Young ICSID, ICC YAF, CEA-40.
