Austrian Arbitration Academy Summer Program

The Austrian Arbitration Academy Summer Program takes place on the campus of the Sommerhochschule in the picturesque village of Strobl in the Salzkammergut region, one of Austria’s most attractive summer vacation areas.

The course covers all aspects of arbitral proceedings, starting with an introduction to the prerequisites of arbitration. Further modules will focus on the constitution of the arbitral tribunal, the conduct of the proceedings, the arbitral award, its challenge, and enforcement. Students will be introduced to the legal framework of international arbitration, arbitral rules, relevant case law, and investment arbitration.

The program fee consists of the Austrian Arbitration Academy fee including registration, tuition, use of all sports and recreational facilities, and all planned excursions at € 2,000, as well as the Austrian Students Union fee at €25.20, and the room and board fee (€1,227.40 in a single room and €1,031.40 in a double room).

The Austrian Arbitration Association grants one full scholarship for participation in the Austrian Arbitration Academy.
