Experts debate regulatory decision-making processes

The Regulatory Law Graduate Program at Fundação Getulio Vargas’ Rio de Janeiro Law School, with financial support from the Brazilian Education Ministry’s graduate education support agency (CAPES) and the Rio de Janeiro State Research Foundation (FAPERJ), is holding an event called “Thinking About Regulatory Law in Light of Decision Theory: Opportunities, Challenges and Prospects.” This public event will take place on April 3, at 10 a.m., in FGV’s main building.

The meeting will debate and reflect on regulatory decision-making processes, analyzing how to apply decision theory in the field of regulatory law and how it can improve the quality and legitimacy of such regulatory decisions. Through talks by specialists and working groups to discuss academic research, the aim is to provide a space for reflection and encouragement of scientific output in this field.

The event will also feature presentations about working groups that will be convened to discuss extended abstracts, which need to be submitted by April 24, 2024. The working group meetings will take place on May 15, 2024.
