Background
The Negotiation Challenge was founded in 2007 as the first international negotiation competition in Europe and one of only few international negotiation competitions in the world. The primary idea behind The Negotiation Challenge (TNC) is to gather world’s best student negotiators and allow them to compare their negotiation skills and by doing so prepare for the complex negotiations they will face after graduation. During the event, the students from world’s leading universities compete with each other in realistic negotiation situations. Participating in TNC offers a great opportunity to experience diverse ways of negotiation and to meet and network with students from various countries with different backgrounds and cultures all sharing the passion for negotiation.
Format
Through compelling negotiation methods and strategies, the participating teams must prove their skills and compete through four qualification rounds. The best teams advance to the final in which they compete in front of an international jury composed of lawyers, business leaders and professors. The best team wins a trophy and a title of The Great Negotiator. Due to its highly competitive character combined with rigorous scientific approach, wining The Negotiation Challenge can be compared with winning the World Championship in Negotiation. All negotiation simulations used during The Negotiation Challenge are exclusively prepared for this purpose and tested by senior academic faculty affiliated with International Negotiation Teaching and Research Association. The scientific and pedagogical value of the competition is guaranteed by their personal involvement in the preparation phase as well as together with seasoned practitioners as judges during the negotiation rounds.
