the Association\u2019s objectives, on the issues of arbitration and alternative dispute resolution, are:<\/p><ul><li>to promote their evolution in law and practice;<\/li><li>to increase the development and quality of relevant scientific activity;<\/li><li>to carry out and encourage the carrying out of studies, research and initiatives;<\/li><li>to give a voice to scholars and experts in the field;<\/li><li>to solicit discussion and confrontation on topics of particular relevance, essential for theoretical and practical evaluation;<\/li><li>to encourage, in a pluralistic spirit, the expression and circulation of orientations and reflections on specific themes and issues;<\/li><li>to promote and support the teaching of arbitration and A.D.R. law in Universities, Masters,
