European Book Launch Conference

The Faculty of Law, Criminal Justice and Public Administration at the University of Lausanne, together with the Tax Policy Center and in cooperation with the Swiss Arbitration Association, is hosting the European book launch conference for Tax Matters in International Investment Arbitration: General Questions, Jurisdiction, Merits and Remedies.

Taking place on 2 June 2026 at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland, this full-day event will bring together leading academics and practitioners to explore the growing intersection between tax policy and investment arbitration.

The conference will examine how tax-related disputes arise in international investment arbitration and how they are addressed across jurisdictional, procedural, substantive, and remedial stages. Topics include the evolution of the investment treaty regime and the international tax system, tax carve-outs and treaty interpretation, standards of protection in tax-related disputes, investment contracts, and the taxation of awards. The programme also features expert presentations, discussion sessions, lunch, and a cocktail reception.

Thanks to our supporting organisations and contributing speakers, the event offers a valuable platform for academic, policy, and practical exchange on one of the most complex areas of international dispute resolution.

Registration is CHF 800 and includes the book, documentation, lunch, and refreshments.*
