As the first international negotiation competition in Europe and one of only few international negotiation competitions in the world, the primary idea behind the The Negotiation Challenge (TNC) is to provide a competitive platform to help prepare students for the complex business negotiations that they will face after graduation.  The contest allows students from leading universities from all over the world to come together and compete against each other in realistic team 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.

These teams participated at the TNC in 2009:

• Harvard Law School (US)
• UC Hastings-Berkeley (US)
• Georgetown University (US)
• ESCP Europe (France)
• ESSEC (France)
• National Law School of India (India)
• Erasmus University Rotterdam (Netherlands)
• Warsaw School of Economics (Poland)
• Bucerius Law School (Germany)
• EMLE Universität (Germany)
