About the Academy for Arbitrators
In autumn of 2023, the Russian Institute of Modern Arbitration conducted the first Academy for Arbitrators - an intensive practice-oriented course for experts wishing to be appointed as arbitrators in the future, as well as already experienced arbitrators who want to improve their knowledge and skills in arbitration.
The experience of the first Academy for Arbitrators showed the high popularity of the project among its listeners, so we collected feedback and took into account the comments and suggestions of the participants in the preparation of the second stream.
The course covers the intricacies of conducting the process from the moment of conclusion of the arbitration agreement to the issuance of an arbitral award. The speakers will talk about the approaches of various jurisdictions and share their experience with difficult issues of the arbitral procedure, including the selection of an arbitrator and his interview, conflict of interest, structuring the course of the dispute and oral hearing, interaction with witnesses and experts, research of evidence and their claim, and requirements for an arbitral award.
This year, the Academy will be held in an updated format. Each Academy Day will resemble a panel discussion, where each of the speakers will reveal a separate problem on a common topic, and the other speakers will have the opportunity to complement the presentation, giving the audience the opportunity to evaluate the issue under consideration from different sides. The moderator of the day will help direct the scientific and practical discussion during the day.
In the updated program of the Academy, we have also added workshops with leading experts on various topics, lectures from foreign speakers, and a business breakfast where participants will have the opportunity to communicate and network with lecturers in an informal setting.

- professors and researchers;
