Event 23 May 2017 - SDG’s 2030: Next steps of implementation in Switzerland
ICC Switzerland will organize an event on the Sustainable Development Goals. These 17 goals are defined by 169 targets at global level.

The Swiss Arbitration and ADR Committee held 1 July 2016 a meeting in Paris between the Secretariat of the Court and the Swiss arbitrators, under the chairmanship of Mr. Urs Weber-Stecher.

The Study Tour in 2016 was a great success and will be organized again in 2017.
