Florence Competition Autumn School 2023

blended course

The Florence Competition Autumn School is an advanced course focusing on recent developments in competition policy across Europe, the USA, and other parts of the world. With over 10 years of experience in organising residential and online executive courses on competition law and economics, as well as sector regulation, the Centre for a Digital Society stands at the forefront of delivering valuable insights and knowledge in this field.

Now in its third edition, this course follows an interdisciplinary approach, featuring renowned academics, practitioners, and representatives from competition agencies who are experts in both law and economics. In addition to traditional lectures, the Autumn School incorporates preliminary online activities and daily group exercises to enhance the learning experience. Participants will also have the opportunity to attend the Autumn Conference, held on October 19th and 20th, 2023, at the EUI campus.

The course is specifically designed for mid-career professionals, including in-house counsels, lawyers, economists, competition authority officials, academics, advocacy officers, and specialized journalists, all of whom should have at least 5 to 10 years of working experience in the field. In addition to providing advanced knowledge and skills, the School fosters networking opportunities among participants during both classroom sessions and social activities in and around Florence, including the renowned Chianti region.

The Florence Competition Autumn School will be held at the Badia Fiesolana, part of the EUI campus, a stunning 12th-century monastery located on the outskirts of Florence. The Autumn School offers a hybrid format, allowing participants to choose between the residential track (attending in person at the EUI campus) or the online track (participating via Zoom). Both options grant access to the e-learning platform, ensuring a comprehensive learning experience.
