The University of Vienna’s team, supervised by the Section of International Law, reached the second place at the 12th Frankfurt Investment Arbitration Moot Court (FIAMC) held from 4 to 8 March 2019.
After three successful preliminary rounds, the University of Vienna, represented by D. B., Aleksander Kalisz, Hoang Anh Nguyen and Anca-Ioana Romocea, won in the “Round of 16” (against the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy), the quarter-finals (against the University of Amsterdam) and the semi-finals against the Singapore Management University. The Viennese team emerged as a close second place from the final round against the Moscow State University of International Relations, held at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry before the arbitrators Professor Christian Tomuschat (presiding), Professor Hans van Houtte and Lord Goldsmith QC.
In 2019, 80 teams competed against each other in the course of the FIAMC worldwide; 46 of these teams were allowed to participate in the international rounds in Frankfurt.
We congratulate our team for the excellent result!
The team was coached by Julia Hildebrandt, Céline Braumann and José Magnaye. We would like to thank the team’s sponsor, the law firm KNOETZL, for its financial support.
