Conference: Protection of Foreign Investments in Europe - Perspectives & Solutions

On July 5, 2018, the International Investment Law Centre Cologne will hold a conference on "Protection of Foreign Investments in Europe - Perspectives & Solutions." The program is here. Here's the idea:
The Achmea judgment by which the Court of Justice of the European Union declared the arbitration clause of the Netherlands-Slovakia bilateral investment treaty to be incompatible with European law has led to many unanswered questions. Against this background, the International Investment Law Centre Cologne (IILCC) is pleased to invite academics, practitioners and students to join us for a discussion on the consequences deriving from Achmea for bilateral investment treaties between EU member states (“Intra-EU BITs”), pending arbitration cases and the future of international investment protection in Europe.
