One of CEPANI’s goals is to actively promote the knowledge and use of arbitration a.o. by encouraging the study of arbitration on a national and international level. Without a doubt, our young professionals take up a central spot in the elaboration of this mission. To support this young talent in particular, CEPANI takes great pride in organizing an Academic prize which rewards an outstanding paper in the field of national or international arbitration.
The goal of this competition is to offer young professionals with an interest in the field the chance to gain recognition among their peers.
CEPANI’s Academic Prize, which amounts to € 5.000, is awarded every three years. The competition is open to anyone who is under the age of 40 on the 1st of September of the year in which the prize is awarded, i.e. 1st of September 2025.
The works shall be sent to the Secretariat of CEPANI by September 1st of the year of the award. For this edition, September 1st 2025.
