SYMPOSIUM ON INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION
Due Process in Arbitration and International Dispute Resolution

The Center on International Commercial Arbitration and the Swiss Institute of Comparative Law (Institut Suisse de Droit Comparé, Lausanne, Switzerland) are pleased to organize the ninth edition of their biennial Symposium on International Arbitration, under the theme of Due Process in Arbitration and International Dispute Resolution, on November 12 and 13, 2026.

Leading experts from around the world will gather to examine how due process considerations shape arbitral proceedings across different jurisdictions and how arbitral tribunals address the tensions that may arise in practice. The Symposium will explore issues relevant to both commercial and investment arbitration, while also considering comparative perspectives from other international dispute resolution mechanisms.

The Symposium provides an opportunity for researchers to present works in progress and recent research findings through an open Call for Papers. This initiative seeks to foster scholarly exchange and encourage dialogue among academics and practitioners on the evolving role of due process in international dispute resolution.
