Fundación Fernando Fueyo UDP

What Fundación Fernando Fueyo UDP does

Fundación Fernando Fueyo Laneri is a private non-profit legal entity (persona jurídica de derecho privado, sin fines de lucro) established on January 18, 1994, by the succession of Fernando Fueyo Laneri and the Law School of Universidad Diego Portales (UDP). Headquartered in Santiago, Chile, it operates as a research center dedicated to private law, preserving Fernando Fueyo's personal library and files (over 12,000 cataloged volumes) and convening scholarly activity around civil law, contract law, consumer law, and civil liability. The Foundation is governed by a Board of Directors chaired by Jaime Couso Salas (Dean of UDP Law School), with Carlos Pizarro Wilson serving as Executive Secretary and researcher.

The Foundation's core outputs span academic publications, programming, and digital media. Publications include the biannual Revista Chilena de Derecho Privado (RChDP), co-edited with UDP Law School since 2003, and the Cuadernos de análisis jurídico book series (eight volumes, 2004–2014). Programming includes the annual Cátedra Fernando Fueyo Laneri lectureship (continuous since 1997), seminar series, and the multi-country Latin American Contract Law Principles research project involving teams from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, France, Guatemala, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Venezuela. Digital media includes the three-season Fueyo Podcast (in partnership with Gramatical Producciones and Idealex.press) and the 'Información continua' program with EstadoDiario, alongside a student-led consumer law extension project (ADECO). The Foundation holds no patents, software products, or AI/ML assets.

The business model is non-commercial: activities are sustained through institutional support from Universidad Diego Portales, assets from the Fueyo succession, and competitive research grants (notably FONDECYT). Events and seminars are free or low-cost educational activities, publications are distributed via academic publishers (Thomson Reuters, Editorial Tirant Lo Blanch), and the Foundation's reach is amplified through partnerships with European and Latin American academic bodies including Fondation pour le Droit Continental, Association Andrés Bello, Association Henri Capitant, and Université Paris Dauphine–PSL. The entity explicitly does not disclose financial information and is not a commercial enterprise.
