Sommersemester 2010

5th Cologne Summer Academy on Business Negotiation and Mediation

From September 05th to September 9th, 2010 the Center for Transnational Law (CENTRAL) in cooperation with the German Institution of Arbitration (DIS) organizes the fifth Cologne Summer Academy on Business Negotiation and Mediation at the University of Cologne.

The Academy is addressed to advanced students, postgraduates and young practitioners. The working language is English.

Unlike other events, the Academy is based on a unique, highly practical and highly interactive teaching concept. You get the rare opportunity to improve your skills and knowledge in both international commercial law and the practice of negotiation and mediation in international business. Under the guidance of highly experienced professionals you will get actively involved in all stages of negotiation and mediation processes.

In the evening, you have the opportunity to chat with the workshop leaders during a boat tour on the river Rhine, to discover the exciting city of Cologne during a guided tour and to continue the discussions in a Cologne “Brauhaus”.
