World Trade Institute - WTI
The World Trade Institute (WTI) is one of the world’s leading academic institutions dedicated to the regulation of international trade. The WTI is a centre of advanced studies of the University of Bern, Switzerland with close ties to leading trade institutions in Geneva. The WTI transcends boundaries by fusing law, economics and international relations in interdisciplinary research, training and advisory services.
The Master of International Law and Economics (MILE) is the flagship programme of the WTI. The MILE combines a multidisciplinary perspective on international trade regulation with a strong applied focus. The MILE was the first and is the most experienced programme taught by an outstanding global faculty. As host institution of the Swiss National Centre of Competence in Research on Trade Regulation, the WTI is at the core of a global research network connecting our students to researchers, practitioners and our own alumni in the field.
The WTI is a proud sponsor of the ELSA Moot Court and awards the winning team with scholarships to its Summer Academy. More information on the MILE programme, the Summer Academy on international trade regulation and current events can be found atwww.wti.org.
The IELPO Programme
The IELPO Programme has been designed to promote academic excellence in the field of international economic law and policy. IELPO students cover a broad range of subject matter in their coursework. Apart from a 3-month module on international trade, students will be taught finance, competition and investment.
This Master of Law programme is unique in that every module is treated from an economic and policy perspective as well as a legal perspective in order to provide students with a multi-disciplinary approach much needed in professional life.
In addition to the classroom lectures at the Department of Law of the University of Barcelona, IELPO also offers students workshops in order to improve their negotiation and writing skills and three field trips to Madrid, Geneva and Brussels. During these field trips students will have the opportunity to meet with practitioners in various organizations, think tanks and law firms and conduct job interviews. Every student will have a personal agenda for these field trips according to their interests.
The IELPO FACULTY
IELPO faculty consists of top-notch lecturers that are current practitioners in international organizations, international law firms, think tanks, research centres and leading universities around the world. With a wide range of origins and experiences, the IELPO class benefits directly from this outstanding international faculty.

Norwegian Seafood Export Council
Norway exports seafood to around 150 different countries, and is the world's largest joint marketer of seafood. Every year, the Norwegian Seafood Export Council carries out several hundred activities in more than 20 different markets, and its entire efforts are financed by the Norwegian seafood industry itself.
The Norwegian Seafood Export Council has its headquarters in Tromsø, employs representatives in China, Japan, Russia, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Singapore and Brazil. NSEC promotes campaigns in stores and restaurants, advertises in local media, carries out information activities for consumers and commerce, and media work in a number of countries.
NSEC was created by the Ministry of Fisheries in 1991, and is a limited company, in which all of the shares are owned by the Ministry of Fisheries and Coastal Affairs. The main organisations in the industry make recommendations for appointments to the Board of the company. Its activities include marketing and PR, market information, market access, information and contingency.
It is important that the Norwegian fishing industry enjoys at least as good competitive conditions and access to central markets as its competitors. The NSEC is the central source of information for the industry concerning import quotas, customs duty and commercial conditions in various markets. The NSEC advises the Ministry of Fisheries and Coastal Affairs in all market-related questions.
NSEC publishes statistics for Norwegian fish export on a weekly basis. One of its central tasks is to gather, systemise and analyse Norwegian and international commercial statistics for seafood.
NSEC carries out global analyses of resource and competition situations for seafood. Ongoing market monitoring is published in reports that are provided to the industry as well as in a weekly newsletter.
It is important to maintain Norwegian Seafood’s positive reputation, and high priority is placed on contingency and communication in crises. The NSEC website –
www.seafoodfromnorway.com makes the information more easily available for everyone and is available in 12 different languages.
NSEC carries out an active information programme, with focussed media initiatives. Press grants, tours and PR activities contribute to increasing the awareness of Norwegian Seafood.
World Trade Organization - Technical Supporter
The World Trade Organization (WTO) is the only international organization dealing with the global rules of trade between nations. Its main function is to ensure that trade flows as smoothly, predictably and freely as possible.The WTO currently consists of 153 member nations. Essentially, the WTO is a place where member governments go, to try to sort out the trade problems they face with each other. The WTO was born out of negotiations, and everything the WTO does is the result of negotiations. The goal of the WTO is to improve the welfare of the people of the member countries.
The ELSA Moot Court Competition on WTO law therefore supports WTO’s enforcement of the rules via the Dispute Settlement Understanding system.
