Join us at the Panel

In honor of the sixth edition of the Galicia Pre-Moot, we are thrilled to invite you to our opening ceremony on Thursday, March 20, 2025.

As part of the ceremony, we are proud to host an outstanding panel featuring four distinguished arbitrators who will dive into a key merit issue in this year’s Vis Moot Case by discussing the right to terminate an Agreement due to governmental policy changes, focused on agreements in the energy sector.

This discussion promises to be both insightful and highly relevant to current global challenges and to prepare mooties for the competition.
