Moreover, in order to enrich and expand our activities in this field, we established the
Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution Institute (Idemed). The Institute aims at the wider
promotion of Alternative Dispute Resolution, by bringing together the scientists, professionals,
and entrepreneurs who are familiar, or wish to get acquaintedwith, the advantages of Arbitration,
as well as the other alternative dispute resolution methods, and want to take advantage of the
speed, reliability, and quality solutions these methods can offer.
The Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution Institute also seeks to help improve the
Greek justice dispensation system by contributing to the further education and information of
any interested party, and by making the knowledge and drive of its Founders available to a new
and very interesting field, which will give new impetus to Greece’s commercial activities and
legal institutions.
Idemed aspires to contribute to the optimum development of alternative dispute resolution
methods, on one hand by promoting the research and study of legislative, case-law, and
scientific approaches and developments in Greece and abroad, and on the other hand by
facilitating collaboration and networking with agencies and scientific societies for the realisation
of information and dissemination initiatives.
We believe that the collaboration of the institutional bodies of Greek entrepreneurship with
Greece’s legal community and the highly competent scientists comprising it can provide a strong
impetus to the national effort to attract investment, enhancing the investors’ sense of security.
Investment in knowledge and the development of innovative tools must be at the epicentre
of this joint action. The Greek Law Digest, along with the structures developed by the Greek
Chamber Community in the field of mediation, are typical examples of the benefits that can
accrue to both domestic and foreign investors, as well as the Greek economy and society.
