The Lear Competition Festival is an innovative international event, where all stakeholders of the antitrust community are brought together. Thanks to the LCF, you will: deepen knowledge on specific antitrust issues; discuss the interrelation between competition and regulation; acquire new tools for the economic and legal analysis; discuss the best methodologies to assess the effectiveness of public policies; network with key actors of the antitrust panorama (e.g. economists and lawyers from competition authorities, firms, IFIs and academics).
Precious synergies can arise from the collaboration between the different actors in the system and the partners adhering to the event.
Over the three-day festival, there will be debates on new tools and issues, discussion of selected international cases, academic contributions on topics, models and theories of competition law and economics, policy and regulations.
As part of the Lear Competition Festival 2021 (LCF21), Lear has instituted the Young Talent Competition Award (YTCA) for the best proposal for antitrust or regulatory research. Other than hosting plenary sessions, know how and hot cases session, LCF21 will give the opportunity to media sponsor to arrange two special sessions devoted to the discussion of a recent published book or to interview an outstanding expert of the antitrust field.
This year, the LCF21 will be a virtual edition event, all sessions will be held online.
We will offer an exciting event that will always aim at the highest quality standards
