Vector Boson Scattering (VBS) processes provide a great source of information on the structure of the Quartic Gauge Boson Couplings (QGCs). The Standard Model allows self interactions of the charged vector gauge bosons, although vertices with neutral-only bosons are forbidden. In this paper we use Monte Carlo samples containing VBS events with two Z-bosons in association with two jets, and we present preliminary studies for the setting of constraints on anomalous quartic couplings. In these studies we investigate typical kinematic variables and we classify them according to their sensitivity to aQGC effects. Finally, we evaluate the cross-section enhancement by each one of the dimension-eight QGC operators in the ZZjj channel.
