Niamh Leinwather, Secretary General of Vienna International Arbitral Centre of the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber (VIAC) and Patrizia Netal, Vice-President of VIAC and Partner at KNOETZL, had the honor of meeting the Minister of Justice of Austria Anna Sporrer, BMJ ‐ Bundesministerium fur Justiz, to discuss the mission and the goals of the newly formed VIAC Board.

Discussions like these are a reminder of how important collaboration between institutions, practitioners, and policymakers is for strengthening the rule of law and advancing international arbitration.

The celebration of International Women’s Day should remind us of all the inspiring women dedicating their skills, experience and energy to great leadership.
