FGV Dispute Boards Competition opens registration and releases rules
Academic event brings together students from different areas for a practical competition, focusing on out-of-court conflict resolution and interdisciplinary learning.
The FGV Chamber announces the official publication of the Regulations, Evaluation Metrics and Timetable for the Getulio Vargas Foundation's First Dispute Boards Competition. The Regulations contain all the rules relating to the Competition and aim to guide students through its structure, offering a clear and detailed guide for each stage.
The evaluation metrics have been made public to ensure the transparency of the process, allowing Competitors to gain an in-depth understanding of the criteria by which they will be evaluated at each stage of the project.
Aimed at teams made up of Law, Engineering and Architecture students, the Competition requires groups to be composed in an interdisciplinary way, and can follow one of the following configurations:
- Law + Engineering
- Law + Architecture
- Law + Engineering + Architecture
This diversity aims to promote integration between different areas of knowledge, reflecting the collaborative dynamics required in real Dispute Boards.
The Competition Schedule also contains the dates for the opening of registrations for Evaluators, Listeners and Volunteers, who will be able to contribute to the event. Those interested can now access the Regulations, the Evaluation Metrics and the Timetable directly on the Competition's official website. These documents are essential for guiding teams and facilitating planning for the next stages.
The publication consolidates the importance of the Competition as a pioneering initiative that seeks to stimulate practical learning, integrate different areas of knowledge and broaden the scope of extrajudicial dispute resolution methods.
The FGV Chamber
The unit functions as a kind of court registry and is responsible for managing the proceedings. When a dispute arises and the parties agree that it will be resolved through some out-of-court method - such as arbitration, mediation and dispute boards - either from the moment the contract is signed or afterwards, the party goes to the FGV Chamber's office and submits the basic documents for the dispute, listed in the Chamber's Regulations for the chosen procedure.
Once this request for initiation has been received and the fee and opening of the procedure have been paid, the Chamber is responsible for notifying the counterparty and then monitoring the entire flow of the procedure from initiation to closure.
In 2025, the Chamber celebrates 23 years since it was founded. During this time, it has become a benchmark on the national scene for its procedural management model and its commitment to the quality brought by the FGV seal.
