Our team

The UnB Interdisciplinary Negotiation Team is the current champion of the most traditional academic negotiation competition in Brazil, Meeting Negotiation. The team is composed of students from the University of Brasília and is dedicated to study and train its members in the the Harvard Negotiation Project's techniques (Collaborative Negotiation) to represent the University of Brasília in academic competitions.

Conceived in 2019, the project was effectively operationalized in the late 2020 bringing together students from 3 knowledge areas (Business Administration, Law and International Relations) interested in the best negotiation practices to compete in the Brazilian qualifying stage of the International Negotiation Competition (INC).
