What is the ICC International Commercial Mediation Competition?
Throughout the Competition, university students face complex, international business problems, which they attempt to resolve by mediation conducted under the ICC Amicable Dispute Resolution (ADR) Rules. By participating in the Competition, students get the unique opportunity to exercise their problem-solving skills in mock mediations guided by professional mediators. Their performance is evaluated by some of the world’s leading dispute resolution specialists who participate in the Competition as judges.
The ICC International Centre for ADR also organizes training sessions that take place during the Competition for the participating professionals to share their experiences and best practices with other professionals and students.
Universally recognized for its important contribution to nurturing best practices in cross-border business mediation, the Competition enjoys the support of practitioners, academics, law firms and corporations worldwide.
The Competition will be going into its 8th year in 2013.
