Based on the presentation, the international students actively engaged in the discussion and raised various questions concerning arbitral proceedings, the role of arbitral institutions, as well as issues commonly arising in dispute resolution practice. VIAC’s representative directly addressed their questions and shared further practical insights, helping the students gain a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the professional arbitration environment.
Through direct exchanges with the VIAC Secretariat, the students were able to bridge academic knowledge with practical arbitration practices, while gaining a better understanding of the professional environment and expertise required in the field of commercial arbitration. Furthermore, the program contributed to strengthening academic exchanges and engagement among VIAC, HLU, and the international law student community, thereby promoting the role of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms in the context of increasingly globalized trade and deeper international cooperation.
