III UAA Arbitration Academy
The Ukrainian Arbitration Association is happy to open registration for the Arbitration Academy, now in its III edition!
As previous editions, the III UAA Arbitration Academy will help a wider audience of Ukrainian lawyers and students, as well as representatives of business, to enhance their knowledge and skills in international arbitration through practical and interactive lectures and a round table. The goal is to prepare Ukrainians to effectively navigate the growing number of international disputes, including those arising during the war, as well as to negotiate dispute resolution clauses in new cross-border contracts and projects, including for Ukraine’s reconstruction. The III UAA Arbitration Academy is open to all Ukrainian citizens regardless of their place of residence. This course will be free of charge.
The faculty of the UAA Arbitration Academy will include prominent arbitration practitioners and academics from leading international law firms, universities and institutions, as well as independent arbitrators, providing valuable insights and expertise to Ukrainian participants.
The course will be taught online in English, divided into two parts with 40 hours of lectures in total:
- Module 1: Basic course | 8 September – 8 October 2026 | two-hour lectures on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 18:00 Kyiv time, 9 lectures and a round table
- Module 2: Specialised course | 13 October – 12 November 2026 | two-hour lectures on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 18:00 Kyiv time, 10 lectures
The curriculum encompasses fundamentals of international arbitration, from arbitration agreements to post-award proceedings, lectures on industry-specific arbitrations (e.g., construction, sports, maritime, commodity), as well as topical issues in arbitration (e.g., damages, third party funding, AI & modern technologies).
The III edition will feature a new specialised topic on interaction between arbitration and the EU law. It will also offer two new skill-oriented lectures on legal research in international arbitration and cross-examination of witnesses.
More detailed program of the III Arbitration Academy will be published soon. Please follow the UAA on social media and our website.
