KNOETZL partners Florian Haugeneder and Emmanuel Kaufman, who coached the team alongside Leonie Liebenwein, Pepita Fallmann, Anton Dirlinger, Paul Oberhammer and Franz Schwarz, are extremely proud of their achievements. 

Lastly, a big thank you and congratulations to the Directors of the Moot, the organizers, the Vis Moot Alumni and the Arbitrators for coming together and ensuring that the competition takes place in the true spirit of the Vis Moot.
