Training

The Africa Centre for Dispute Settlement (ACDS), based at the University of Stellenbosch’s Business School, provides an African hub for academic research, development and teaching of dispute settlement theory and practice. Equillore is a founding sponsor of the ACDS.

The Centre provides an environment where practice and theory in dispute settlement are given a proper academic underpinning. Through its partnership with Equillore Ltd, the Centre combines academic excellence with real-world practical experience. The purpose is to become a change agent in the way people think and act in relation to dispute settlement.

Apart from research, the Africa Centre for Dispute Settlement will also offer post-graduate programmes in dispute settlement, and a number of short courses offered in conjunction with the UK-based ADR group.
