About the Event
This Call for Papers is a scholarly initiative launched by Kluwer Arbitration in collaboration with guest editors Sophie Nappert, Benjamin Malek, and Fernanda Carvalho Dias de Oliveira Silva. The 2025 edition aims to explore the interplay between Artificial Intelligence (AI) and International Arbitration, offering a unique academic opportunity for scholars, researchers, and practitioners to reflect on how AI is reshaping dispute resolution.
The publication seeks bold and original papers that not only assess the current use of AI in arbitration but also envision its trajectory and challenges in the coming decade. This is a prime opportunity to contribute to a landmark scholarly collection that may influence future practices and policies in arbitration.
