Research
The Research and Development department of CIArb continues to develop areas of research to meet the ever changing and challenging demands of the private dispute resolution (PDR) community.
The function of the research team is to provide a service to members and also to act as a research body able to react to the needs of the PDR community, whether they be governments or commercial bodies who are non members of the Institute.
This service is available to public and private organisations where there is a need for thought leadership in the field of private dispute resolution. Please contact the Institute for further details.
Events
The Research and Development team organises an annual series of meetings, conferences, seminars and lectures including an Alexander Lecture, Continuous Professional Development (CPD) events and a Mediation symposium.
Details of all events can be found on the Events finder.
The Journal and other publications
The Institute Journal, Arbitration, has continued to be published since its inception in 1915. Over that time the Journal has contributed over 5000 articles on arbitration and dispute resolution in its many and varied forms.
Today the Journal incorporates all aspects of dispute resolving within its academic and practitioner output. With the creation of a focused Research and Development department, the Journal now finds a home at Bloomsbury Square with a team of academically led practitioners proactively contributing to the structure and content of the Journal.
The research team also contributes to many other publications incorporating Judicial research, academic book titles and practitioner guides.
Interns
We run an internship programme which introduces young professionals to the growing and increasingly specialised field of Private Dispute Resolution (PDR) and offers a unique opportunity for post-graduate students to gain training, knowledge and practical experience in this vast and continually evolving subject.
