The team comprising of Brazilian exchange students – Luize Liebsch Kestring, Leonardo Matschulat, Luana Orofino and Sofia Riechi – competed against 12 other teams in the Regional Rounds. The team was coached by Isha Das, who works as a Wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin at the Lehrstuhl of Professor Dr. Christoph Herrmann (LL.M) (Lehrstuhl für Staats- und Verwaltungsrecht, Europarecht, Europäisches und Internationales Wirtschaftsrecht).
The participating teams demonstrated a varied regional representation from Europe as teams came from Belgium, France, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Moldova, Denmark among other places. The team from the University of Passau was among the top four teams at these Regional Rounds and will now compete against 23 other teams in the World Rounds at the World Trade Organization in Geneva in June 2023.
