Austrian Arbitration Association
The Austrian Arbitration Association – Arb|Aut is a non-profit association dedicated to promoting domestic and international arbitration. It is particularly focused on promoting Austria as the place of arbitration. Austria, and especially Vienna, is uniquely situated to be a platform for the resolution of cross-border disputes.
To this end, Arb|Aut organizes domestic and international conferences and encourages the next generation of arbitrators, in particular in conjunction with the Young Austrian Arbitration Practitioners (YAAP).
The association co-operates with the International Arbitral Centre of the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber (VIAC), the ICC and other arbitral organizations and institutions on an on-going basis. It also maintains contacts with international organizations based in Vienna, particularly the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law, UNCITRAL. Arb|Aut is, however, not an arbitral institution and does not administer arbitrations.

Vienna International Arbitral Centre
When disputes arise between contractual partners, the Vienna International Arbitral Centre (VIAC) of the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber (WKO) assists businesses in such cases. State courts are often unable to offer the most cost-effective solution for parties as state court judgements are generally not enforceable worldwide and party autonomy does not play a central role. Thus, arbitration proceedings at VIAC are a welcome alternative.
With its wealth of knowledge and expertise in alternative dispute resolution, the VIAC team provides support with regard to the administration of international and national arbitration and mediation cases. As one of the world’s most recognised international arbitration institutions, VIAC has the highest level of knowledge and a know-how in this area. Due to its geographical location in the heart of Europe, VIAC has a long tradition and in-depth knowledge of the Central and Eastern European and Southern Eastern European region (CEE/SEE).

Young Austrian Arbitration Practitioners (YAAP)
The Young Austrian Arbitration Practitioners (YAAP) were founded in Vienna in December 2004 as an initiative of young legal practitioners interested in arbitration. The founding members were Ingo Braun, Alice Fremuth-Wolf, Florian Haugeneder, Werner Jahnel, Christian Konrad, Stefan Riegler and Sabine Schmidt.
YAAP seeks to promote arbitration among young practitioners from various countries and professional backgrounds. YAAP provides young practitioners and academics with a forum for exchanging ideas and establishing a professional network. It regularly organizes conferences, including the Vienna Arbitration Days, the Young Approaches to Arbitration Conference (which has become an integral part of the Willem C. Vis Moot week) and the Annual Conference in December. YAAP's specialty are the monthly YAAP roundtables, a coffee-house style forum for debate which enjoys great popularity among young lawyers practicing in Austria and its neighbouring countries.
YAAP forms part of a network of young arbitration organisations, the Co-Chairs' Circle, an informal platform for the exchange between young arbitration practitioner groups.
