I'm curious to hear what people here think about specialised training programmes in international investment arbitration.
NLU Delhi, in collaboration with Uppsala University, Sweden, is organising a five-day European–South Asian Investment Arbitration Bootcamp from 10–14 November 2026. The programme will involve European instructors and other experts, with sessions focused on international investment law and arbitration.
I'm involved in the student team behind this initiative, so I'm admittedly a little invested in seeing it work out. But I'd genuinely like to hear from people who have studied or practised in this area.
Do you think a programme like this would be worthwhile for a law student interested in investment treaty arbitration? How valuable is it to learn directly from international faculty, and what would you look for in a bootcamp of this kind?
One of the reasons we've been working on this is the hope of building a stronger investment arbitration community in India. It's a relatively specialised field, and I'd love to see more opportunities for students to engage with it meaningfully.
We've also tried to make the dates more convenient around Diwali.
If anyone wants to see the programme details, here's the official NLU Delhi announcement - https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7518517961536475136.
Would appreciate honest thoughts, including from anyone who has attended similar programmes!
