The international community of competition law scholars came together once again, this time in London from 1 to 3 July. It was another great conference, with 28 parallel sessions presenting and discussing the latest research in competition law and economics being done by our members across the globe! There were also four plenary sessions, discussing ‘competition law in a fractured world’ and ‘Capitalism’s “New Code”’, sharing reflections from regional chapter heads, and taking us on a Sci-Fi journey for antitrust ‘From Dune spice cartels to omni-consumer products (Robocop)’.
Between the lively discussions, ASCOLA members took time to reconnect and exchange ideas over dinner, drinks, and afternoon tea on the Thames!
Thank you to the local hosts at UCL(University College London) and KCL (King’s College London): Deni Mantzari, Ioannis Lianos, Stavros Makris, Todd Davies, Chris Townley, and Andriani Kalintiri! They say it takes a village, and in London all hands were on deck to make the conference come to life: the local hosts received support from Okeoghene Odudu from the University of Cambridge and Ioannis Kokkoris and Maria Ioannidou from Queen Mary University.
