MICDM · PURPOSE & DIRECTION

Mission & Vision

Vision

Our Vision

To be the reference institution in Mauritius and the wider Indian Ocean and African region for construction law, dispute resolution and the responsible application and ethical use of artificial intelligence in professional practice.

To be a centre where practitioners are trained to prevent and manage disputes with rigour, and where every arbitration, mediation or adjudication administered under our umbrella is recognised for its independence, competence and procedural integrity.

Mission

Our Mission

Mascarenhas International Centre for Disputes Managemnent Limited exists to raise the standard of practice in construction and dispute resolution, and to provide the institutional infrastructure that makes that practice trustworthy. We do this through two complementary functions:

The Training Academy

Delivers practical, industry-relevant education in construction law, arbitration, mediation, adjudication and artificial intelligence by equipping legal practitioners, engineers, quantity surveyors architects, project managers and construction professionals with skills they can apply on live projects and disputes, not just theory.

The MICDM Academy

Administers disputes to institutional standard by appointing arbitrators, accrediting and maintaining a panel of vetted, competent neutrals, and enforcing clear rules of membership, conduct and procedure consistent with a modern arbitral institution.

TRAINING PROGRAMS

Four programs, one working method

Each course is built around real clause language, real procedural timelines, and real AI tools — not generic slides.

Applying AI tools and workflows to real professional tasks and processes.

Problem Solving

Identifying where AI adds value and designing AI-augmented solutions.

Ethics and Governance

AI risk, bias, regulatory compliance, and responsible deployment principles.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION SERVICES

The MICDM MICDM Academy

Alongside its training programs, MICDM operates as an Adjudication Appointment Body — nominating and appointing independent, qualified adjudicators for construction and commercial disputes.

ADJUDICATION APPOINTMENT BODY

Where a contract or statutory adjudication scheme requires a nominating body, the MICDM Academy appoints an adjudicator from its panel — drawing on the same construction law, FIDIC, and dispute resolution expertise behind MICDM's training programs.

Appointments are made promptly and independently, with regard to the subject matter of the dispute and the availability and qualifications of panel members.

WHY TRAIN WITH US

What the certificate actually stands for

01

Practitioner-led

Courses are taught by someone who currently practises as a chartered arbitrator and quantity surveyor — not a career trainer reading a licensed curriculum.

02

Mauritius-specific

Built for a hybrid civil and common law jurisdiction, where the Code Civil Mauricien, FIDIC, and the IAA 2008 all have to be read together.

03

Current, not archival

AI content is updated against live institutional guidance — SIAC, ICC, CIArb — rather than fixed at the point the course was first written.
