Overview
- The 14th Fórum de Lisboa is scheduled for June 1–3 at the Faculty of Law of the University of Lisbon and organizers say more than 450 people will attend across 71 panels and seven spaces.
- Confirmed attendees include STF ministers Alexandre de Moraes and Flávio Dino, prosecutor‑general Paulo Gonet, Chamber president Hugo Motta, central bank president Gabriel Galípolo and international speakers Joel Mokyr and Thomas Friedman.
- The event is organized by IDP, the Lisbon Public Law Research Centre and FGV Justiça; IDP was founded by host Gilmar Mendes and the forum received the Portuguese presidency’s Alto Patrocínio, a symbolic institutional endorsement.
- The forum comes as the Banco Master investigation and a proposed STF Code of Ethics have intensified scrutiny of judges’ outside ties, and Gilmar Mendes has publicly said the event has no connection to those controversies.
- Beyond panels on Trump’s global role, the EU‑Mercosul agreement and artificial intelligence, coverage highlights a recurring concern that private dinners and sponsor events at the forum create networking settings that critics say risk undue influence.
