Annual Competition and Regulation Conference

We are pleased to share the dates for the Annual Competition and Regulation Conference. It will be held on the 27th & 28th of September at Lady Margaret Hall. We hope to see you there! In this new academic year, the Institute will be moving to a new events structure, placing less emphasis on ‘omnibus’ conferences in favour of colloquia and seminars, in order to give more sustained attention to major priority issues in regulation. The upcoming Annual Conference stands at the cusp of the change and so this year there will be no conference fee, only a charge of £125+VAT to cover meal and refreshment expenses (including the food and drink costs of the Distinguished Fellows Dinner) and a charge of £80+VAT for those wanting to reside in the College on the night of 27 September.

RPI Annual Competition and Regulation Conference 2021: Rethinking Regulation

Regulatory Policy Institute events are back! For two days in September, we will pool collective experiences on the question of ‘rethinking regulation’ with those working in Government, regulatory bodies, regulated companies, their legal and economic advisers, as well as those from the academic community in order to see whether we can draw out any principles that could be applied in the design of UK regulatory policy in a post-Brexit, post-Covid world. We will ask ourselves: what do we need to do to rethink regulation?
