Maqsut Narikbayev University hosted a guest lecture by International Arbitration Centre Chairman Thomas Krümmel for lawyers, educators and students. The original announcement gives the Russian title ‘Особенности арбитража в Евразийском пространстве’ and the English title ‘Navigating Arbitration Across Eurasian Borders’.

The lecture addressed arbitration and alternative dispute resolution in cross-border disputes, Astana’s growing role as a regional dispute resolution hub, and the effects of digitalisation and legal technology on investment. Mr Krümmel also discussed demand for arbitration in the context of expanding global trade and Kazakhstan’s strategic importance.

Students had an opportunity to speak directly with the IAC Chairman about international arbitration and careers in dispute resolution. The AIFC Court and IAC’s educational work addresses the business and legal communities of Kazakhstan and Eurasia and the use of their mechanisms to protect investor rights.

The lecture is linked to SDG 16, Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions, through professional information about arbitration and mechanisms for protecting rights.
