Who we areCRESSE is a Network of academics and professionals, practicing in Competition or Regulatory Authorities, Consultancies and Legal Practices, with an interest in Competition Policy and Sectoral Regulation. It was initiated by Prof. Y. Katsoulacos in 2005. The specific format and content of the CRESSE Summer School and Annual Conference has been influenced by the suggestions and ideas of a large number of people. Special mention should be made of Prof. M. Motta, Prof. Patrick Rey and Prof. D. Ulph.
The objective of CRESSE is threefold:
(i) to organize an annual Conference in which some of the latest research in the areas of Competition and Regulation is presented and discussed;
(ii) to organize an annual Summer School in which Visiting Faculty from a large number of European Universities, give the opportunity of high quality training to practitioners of competition policy and sectoral regulation that wish to be acquainted with the new economic literature and the recent legal developments;
(iii) to disseminate research in the areas of competition policy and regulation and to contribute, through the organization of Round Tables, to public debates on specific policy issues.
