PhD candidate wins prestigious arbitration prize
Tue 31 July 2018
Álvaro was awarded the prize for his essay on the topic, “Is there a need to reform the New York Convention of 10 June 1958?” at the annual Arbitration Academy 2018.
The Academy is an internationally respected programme where scholars and well-known practitioners from around the world deliver lectures, seminars and workshops on international commercial and investment arbitration.
On being awarded the prize Álvaro said:
"The support and encouragement of my supervisors, together with the financial help of Meyer-Fabre Avocats have allowed me to participate in the prestigious courses of the International Academy for Arbitration Law in Paris. It was a rich and rewarding experience, which undoubtedly will have a strong impact on the research I am conducting here at Edinburgh Law School.”
Edinburgh Law School offers its warmest congratulations to Álvaro on this fantastic achievement.
