ABOUT
On behalf of Professor Dr. Gerhard Wagner, the Academic Director of the International Dispute Resolution (IDR) LL.M., and the now seven generations of IDR LL.M. Alumni, we are delighted to invite you to the second Humboldt Dispute Resolution Conference at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin!
The programme of this year’s Humboldt Dispute Resolution Conference centres on the theme of “Efficiency in Arbitration and Dispute Resolution: Friend or Foe?”. The event promises a showcase of topics at the forefront of discussion, debate and development within the international dispute resolution community. As is now firm tradition, the Humboldt Dispute Resolution Conference is delivered by up-and-coming dispute resolution practitioners who, after graduating with their IDR LL.M. degrees from Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, have gone on to achieve wide-ranging success in private practice, in-house, academia and arbitral institutions across the globe. We are pleased to once again invite you to join us as we are brought up to speed on the latest developments in the field of international arbitration and dispute resolution.
We hope you will also join us for a post-conference mingle at the nearby Mokka Mitta Bar from 21:00 as the members, friends and supporters of the IDR alumni family catch up with new and familiar faces. Welcome!
The Humboldt Dispute Resolution Conference is again co-organized by the Humboldt International Dispute Resolution Association e.V., with particular thanks to the members of the organizing committee for their hard work in putting together the event.
The Humboldt Dispute Resolution Conference is a staple of the Berlin Dispute Resolution Days and is open to dispute resolution practitioners, in-house counsel, academics, as well as students to attend.
