The Research Centre on Procurement Law and International Investments (CREDIMI) (French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) & University of Burgundy), in association with Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer LLP, has organised a series of three seminars on selected topics in investment treaty arbitration.

Over the last three decades, investment arbitration has emerged as the predominant method for the resolution of investor-State disputes. Its popularity continues to increase among investor claimants but its conduct remains complex and several aspects are still debated. The purpose of this series of seminars is to discuss and debate three specific topics at the fore of investment arbitration, bringing together academics, arbitration practitioners and policy advisors in a small international group in Paris.
