Bring your A-game to the IBA-VIAC CDRC. Let’s make the moot a first-rate experience for the competing Mediator and Negotiator Teams!
Application in a nutshell
The CDRC Vienna 2024 will take place from 5 – 10 July 2024.
Here is a quick guide to the application process for assessors:
Assessors
Expert Assessors work closely with the Mediator and Negotiator Teams representing top universities from across the world. The Teams have been carefully selected based on the team members‘ qualifications as well as their skills in oral advocacy, presentation, persuasion, and creativity.
Expert Assessors help us score the performances of the competing Teams. They also provide each student with valuable, individualised feedback after each session, helping the students to learn, improve, and grow during the CDRC Vienna.
Expert Assessors help us shape the Experts of the future!
And of course, there is the opportunity to network with fellow Expert Assessors as well as the students and their coaches.
