The curtains have gracefully fallen on the 2023 edition of CDRC Vienna - The IBA-VIAC Mediation & Negotiation Competition and what a grande finale it was! The stunning Rathaus of Vienna provided the perfect setting for the unforgettable Final Banquet! ✨ Heartfelt thanks to the organizers, and especially Ema Potocnik Thomas John, MCIArb and all the volunteers, for making this a not only professionally but also personally enriching event! Being part of this was a rewarding experience that allowed us to grow beyond ourselves and forge connections with exceptionally skilled link-minded individuals – students and professionals alike! 😊
We are absolutely delighted with the excellent results we achieved at the competition!
🌟 Our Mediators Team – Daria Ionas and Kiana Khorramian – not only made it to the semifinals but also clinched an impressive 4th place among a formidable field of teams.
🌟 Likewise, our exceptional Negotiators Team – Susana Nistor, Ilaria Beretta, Antonia Voit and Moritz Freimüller – showcased their skills, securing a spot in the semifinals and finishing with an impressive 4th place out of the numerous teams that participated.
A big thank you goes out to all the participating teams for their exceptional efforts in keeping the level of negotiations high throughout the competition! 🙌 Congratulations are in order for the winning universities whose performances stood out: USP - Universidade de São Paulo, University of Sydney and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU Amsterdam)
In particular, however, we want to express out gratitude to our esteemed coaches, Barbara Reintjes and Larissa Alterdinger, whose vast knowledge and guidance played a crucial role in our moot court journey! In addition, we want to thank all the experts who have taken their time to help us improve: Margareta Miel Adenike McGuinn, ulrich wanderer, Hanita Veljan, Johannes Juranek, Felipe Glioche and Pascal Comvalius. All of your support made all the difference in our performance. 🙏
A special thank you goes also to CMS Reich-Rohrwig Hainz for their steady support of our team. Your backing is instrumental for us to progress! 🤝
We are very proud that we went so far, and we are already looking forward to our next challenge… the journey keeps going for our team taking part to the IIMC Colombo in Sri Lanka. 🇱🇰
Stay tuned!
