Discussion forum: Cyberweek and the ODR Forum: Creating a Connection
The purpose of this Cyberweek discussion is to elaborate works and achievements of the field - and to look ahead, introducing the two International Forums on ODR coming up in 2016. Here is some background, and some of the topics we look forward to discussing in the forum:
ODR and China
China is an emerging eCommerce market that has been showing steady growth since 2011. According to market statistics, the 2014 market size of eCommerce in China is 1230 billion RMB (about 195 billion USD), with a growth rate at 21.3%. As of the end of June, 2015, there are 0.669 billion internet users, accounting for 48.8% of population. These numbers indicate China has great potential for disputes with regards to to eCommerce, all needing to be settled over the Internet through access to ODR.
eCommerce regulation in China is mainly involved with price fraud. There are many other annoying shortcomings and legal gaps in the areas in which we commonly encounter disputes (for example, disputes subjected to long tail theory which has been successfully applied in the field of the network economy as a new economic type of economic model). Furthermore, as Chinese law with regards to these disputes doesn’t apply globally, legal rights and interests have hardly been identified or protected.
ODR and UIBE
The University of International Business and Economy (UIBE), located in Beijing, is a multi-disciplinary and national key university, with economics, management, law and literature as its core academic areas of expertise. The School of Law and the Shenzhen Institute of University jointly formed the Research Center of Dispute Resolution，UIBE（RCDR，UIBE）. This organization specializes in ODR and related technology. At present, faulty members have been in charge of, or have participated in, various national or provincial research projects, and have released dozens of papers and publications concerning with ODR. Our senior scholars engage in social organizations to promote the development of ODR.

Just one quick correction to Ethan's note: the info on odr2015 is at http://law.pace.edu/odr-2015 (sorry, I let the odr2015.org redirect expire). Additionally, the info on odr2014 is at http://odr2014.nfshost.com/. Very excited about the two 2016 meetings in The Hague and Beijing -- and eager to hear everyone's thoughts about how to make them the best ever!

Andy - this is a long shot but do you/UIBE have any links with XJTLU , being the "Xi'an Jiaotong -Liverpool University"which is a partnership university between The University of Liverpool UK with Xi'an Jiaotong University - see http://www.xjtlu.edu.cn/en/ I see you studied at Jiantong.
I ask particularly because I hosted the 5th ODR Forum at Liverpool University and wonder whether the 15th may give an opportunity to create further links. It was the University's School of Management that provided all the support and facilities for the Forum which coincidentally is the department that led the creation of XJTLU. XJTLU have a business school and their research focus, whilst mainly scientific, includes Big Data research which would connect into work in AI and dispute resolution which is what is on the ODR horizon.

It is so wonderful seeing the continual opportunities for engagement concerning these important topics. Especially after seeing the many wonderful developments that are taking place through the presentations and conversations taking place this week. I do have a question that may relate to many out there following this conversation, especially the students that may be interested. How can newcomers to the field get involved with the developments that are taking place? What is the value that these face-to-face meetings provide to those that want to contribute to the field of online dispute resolution?
Thanks for all your shaping these conversations that take conflict engagement to the next level with technology.
