These programmes-ranging from large-scale convenings to specialist roundtables and public lectures-serve as platforms for exchanging insights, testing emerging ideas, and strengthening institutional and professional networks. Together, they position the Centre as a convenor of regional thought leadership and a driver of principled, practice-informed dialogue.<\/p>\r\n<h3>\r\n\t\tFlagship Programmes\r\n\t<\/h3>\r\n<h4>\r\n\t\tASEAN-Asia Arbitration Summit (AAAS)\r\n\t<\/h4>\r\n\t<p>The AAAS is the Centre&#8217;s flagship bi-annual convening and a cornerstone of its public mission. The Summit brings together ASEAN justice ministries, arbitral institutions, academics, and industry leaders to examine systemic developments, institutional challenges, and emerging trends shaping arbitration across the region. Proceedings from each edition are captured in the Post-Summit White Paper-co-published with the <em>Singapore Journal of International Arbitration (SJIA)<\/em>-which distils key insights, comparative observations, and policy-oriented recommendations for regional stakeholders.<\/p>\r\n<h4>\r\n\t\tRegional Practitioner Workshops\r\n\t<\/h4>\r\n\t<p>This annual workshop series rotates across ASEAN jurisdictions and delivers targeted, practice-focused training on contemporary issues in commercial and investor-state arbitration. Topics include construction and infrastructure disputes, energy transition and climate-related claims, digital economy and technology disputes, and procedural and evidentiary innovation.<\/p>\r\n<p>The workshops aim to support regional capacity building, facilitate skill transfer, and strengthen collaboration between private practitioners, in-house counsel, arbitrators, and government officials.<\/p>\r\n<h4>\r\n\t\tASEAN-Asia Roundtable Series\r\n\t<\/h4>\r\n\t<p>The Roundtable Series comprises high-level, invitation-only dialogues convened annually in partnership with leading arbitral institutions and other industry stakeholders. Designed for senior practitioners, institutional leaders, academics, and policymakers, the Roundtables provide a closed-door environment for rigorous discussion of emerging doctrinal, procedural, and policy issues.<\/p>\r\n<p>Select editions may be co-organised with the Maxwell Summit (launched in November 2025), enabling strategic alignment with broader initiatives on dispute resolution and legal innovation in Singapore. Each Roundtable culminates in a publicly accessible Thematic Report, consolidating key insights, developments, and practical recommendations.<\/p>\r\n<p>The 2026 edition of the global roundtable organised by the <em>Institute of Transnational Arbitration&#8217;s Task Force on Investment Treaty Law, Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS), and the Rule of Law<\/em> will be hosted by NUSCIA as part of this series.<\/p>\r\n<h4>\r\n\t\tPublic Lectures &#038; Seminars \r\n\t<\/h4>\r\n\t<p>NUSCIA also hosts public lectures and thematic seminars led by distinguished academics, judges, institutional heads, and practitioners. These events provide a platform for engaging the wider public and professional community, disseminating new scholarship, and fostering debate on contemporary issues in international arbitration and cross-border dispute resolution.<\/p>\r\n\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Public Engagements PUBLIC ENGAGEMENTS NUSCIA contributes to the development of international arbitration across ASEAN and Asia through a structured portfolio [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":104,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"no-sidebar","site-content-layout":"page-builder","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"disabled","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"disabled","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-44666","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/law.nus.edu.sg\/nuscia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/44666"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/law.nus.edu.sg\/nuscia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/law.nus.edu.sg\/nuscia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/law.nus.edu.sg\/nuscia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/104"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/law.nus.edu.sg\/nuscia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44666"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/law.nus.edu.sg\/nuscia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/44666\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":45046,"href":"https:\/\/law.nus.edu.sg\/nuscia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/44666\/revisions\/45046"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/law.nus.edu.sg\/nuscia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44666"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
