The Singapore International Arbitration Academy (SIAA) is one of CIL’s flagship programmes. Every year since 2012, the Centre for International Law (CIL) has brought together some of the world’s leading experts in international arbitration for a weeklong programme on investor-state dispute settlement designed specifically for government officials and private practitioners.

SIAA is an unparalleled opportunity for government officials, private practitioners and legal academics in the Asia-Pacific region and from around the world to come to Singapore to meet and interact with luminaries of international arbitration, gain hands-on experience with international investment law issues and develop new professional relationships.

The SIAA Programme includes sessions on the substantive law of investment treaties, the developing landscape of Investor-State Dispute Settlement as well as practical workshops on drafting requests for arbitration and the production of documents. As a culmination of the SIAA, participants who choose will be given the opportunity to argue in investor-state arbitration proceedings before a distinguished tribunal of some of the world's leading arbitrators.
