The Mannheim Centre for Competition and Innovation (MaCCI), a joint initiative of ZEW and the University of Mannheim, is pleased to announce its 2020 Annual Conference. The aim of the conference is to provide a platform for exchange and discussion on topics in competition- and innovation-related research between academic researchers and practitioners in public authorities, legal counsel, and economic consultancies.
The conference will primarily consist of parallel sessions in which original research papers from all fields of competition law and economics may be presented. The parallel sessions will also include papers on business strategy related to competition, on the intersection between competition and innovation, and on regulated industries. Theoretical, empirical, as well as case-oriented papers are welcome. In particular, we invite lawyers to submit papers focusing on EU competition or comparative competition law. In addition to contributed sessions, there will be two keynote lectures, a policy panel, and several invited sessions.
