ISDS (and investment law more generally) is in a state of flux. The horizon holds the possibility of significant change, notably through the ongoing multilateral reform negotiations in UNCITRAL Working Group III. With this Conference, the Academic Forum aims to explore the nature, costs, and benefits of investment arbitration - from its functions and conceptual origins, to questions of reform and institutional design. Interested academics (including PhD candidates and post-doctoral researchers), practitioners, and policymakers are invited to submit paper abstracts on any of the conference topics.
