We would like to draw your attention to the next webinar on 18.04.2023 entitled "Enhancing procedural efficiency in international construction arbitration: tailored approaches and effective case management". Further details can be found below. You are all welcome.

Secondly, we would like to point out that the Working Group on International Construction Law in ARGE Baurecht will hold a session on the topic on 11.05.2023: Earthquake-Resistant Construction: Can good contracts mitigate the effects of earthquakes?

Finally, we would like to remind you of our annual meeting of ESCL on 06.10.2023 in Copenhagen, which will sail under the motto Liability Standards in Construction Contracts - an International Perspective. We are looking forward to numerous visitors!

Wishing sunny and positive days in these weeks for all of you,

ESCL Essay Prize

In 2022 the first edition of the ESCL Essay Prize took place. The jury did receive several essays on interesting topics and was very pleased with the number of submissions. Because none of the submitted essays scored sufficiently on all criteria, the jury only awarded commendations.

In 2023 a new edition of the ESCL Essay Prize will take place. Deadline for submissions is 1 July 2023 17:00. It is important to note for aspiring writers that the essay will have to score at least sufficiently on all criteria to be awarded a Prize and that especially of importance is the connection of the topic and its approach with either European law or with the law of more than one European country.

More information can be found here.
