Chillin'Competition

ASCOLA needs no introduction in the competition law community. It has become the privileged forum for the exchange of ideas among scholars specialised in the field. The expansion it has undergone in the past few years is truly remarkable, and testament to its growing importance and the hard-work of the leaders steering the ship.

Next year’s conference (26-28th June) will take place in one of the landmarks (both in the geographic and the intellectual sense) of antitrust and competition law: Chicago. Participants will be hosted by renowned Professor Spencer Weber Waller at Loyola University Chicago School of Law.

If you are interested in taking part in the conference, the call for papers can be accessed here. As usual, the call is open to diverse disciplinary approaches: diversity is, in fact, one of ASCOLA’s trade marks.

On top of that, I very much like that organisers have identified three streams for potential participants: (i) academic papers (the general stream, for papers that have the typical length of a research paper); (ii) early-career researchers; and (iii) early project ideas (for very short submissions that seek to test new concepts or ideas).

For more information (other than that provided in the call for papers), it is probably best to get in touch with the organising team at ASCOLA2025@luc.edu. Best of luck with your submission!
