About the University/Organization

The Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (CIArb) is a globally respected professional body devoted to promoting and facilitating dispute resolution through arbitration, mediation, and adjudication. CIArb regularly conducts research and publishes authoritative insights to enhance the effectiveness and integrity of ADR mechanisms worldwide. With its broad international membership, CIArb plays a pivotal role in shaping best practices in the field of dispute resolution.


About the Event

This global survey is part of CIArb’s initiative to maximize the effectiveness of party-appointed expert witness evidence in arbitration and ADR. Recognizing that expert evidence is often central—sometimes even determinative—to case outcomes, the survey aims to gather insights from lawyers, barristers, arbitrators, and ADR professionals. The goal is to improve how tribunals engage with expert evidence, from communication protocols to post-hearing processes.

This is not a contest or internship, but a professional participation opportunity where your feedback will directly contribute to international arbitration reform and enhance procedural transparency.
