SIEL International Investment Law Network

One of the specific research areas, in which a great deal of interest has recently been generated, is that of international investment law.  Accordingly, the Society of International Economic Law (SIEL) is establishing an International Investment Law Network as a sub-group within the SIEL framework to build a network amongst academics and academically-minded practitioners and officials interested in the field of international investment law.  The Network is designed to be an inclusive group open to all SIEL members.  Its purpose is to foster a specialised level of engagement and encourage targeted SIEL events on investment.

The launch of the SIEL Investment Network will be at the Investment Treaty Law and Arbitration: Evolution and Revolution in Substance and Procedure conference, 19-20 February  to be held at the Sydney Law School, University of Sydney (see http://www.usyd.edu.au/news/law/457.html?eventid=4307). 

In addition, it is anticipated that there will be a meeting of the network at the SIEL 2010 Barcelona Conference in July.
