The event was organized within the framework of the Vienna International Arbitral Centre of the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber (VIAC) Ambassadors Network initiative, in collaboration with ArbMenia , and with the support of the YSU Master’s Program on International Courts and Arbitration.

The discussion brought together leading Armenian and international experts to examine both visible and often overlooked aspects shaping arbitration efficiency. Key topics included procedural delays, challenges in investment arbitration, and the evolving debate on transitioning from ad hoc tribunals to permanent investment courts.
