Each year, we aim to host two short courses in different international venues, providing accessible and practical education to industry professionals worldwide.
Our first course was held in June at the Bolsa de Cereales, Buenos Aires, Argentina, supported by CIARA, and provided forty-five delegates with a comprehensive introduction to key aspects of FOSFA trade and arbitration.
