Competition Law and Economics European Network (CLEEN)
The current challenges in competition policy and market regulation require detailed assessments not only from an interdisciplinary but also from an international perspective. In 2007 TILEC was instrumental in setting up a European network of research institutions with a similar focus: CLEEN (Competition Law and Economics European Network).
Cooperation
The cooperation was aimed at the joint organization of conferences and workshops, exchange of data and ideas, the exchange of (PhD) researchers and - ultimately - joint research. So far, eight successful events took place, the latest having been held in June 2014 at the University of East Anglia, Norwich, United Kingdom.
The CLEEN network comprises, in addition to TILEC:
- Centre for Competition Policy (CCP)
University of East Anglia - Amsterdam Center for Law and Economics (ACLE)
University of Amsterdam - European University Institute
In particular the Robert Schuman Centre (focusing on policy orientated research) and Florence School of Regulation - Bergen Center for Competition Law and Economics (BECCLE)
Norwegian School of Economics and the University of Bergen - Mannheim Centre for Competition and Innovation (MaCCI)
ZEW Centre for European Economic Research and the University of Mannheim - Max-Planck Institute for Research on Collective Goods, Bonn
