The Cambridge Symposium on Competition Policy was first held in 2019 and is a space for academic researchers, practitioners and policy makers from competition authorities and industry regulators to come together to exchange ideas on issues of competition policy and to inspire new work on the subject. During the Symposium, policy makers are exposed to the latest academic thinking on competition and regulation issues, while academic researchers are exposed to the latest policy issues and practical cases being worked on by competition authorities, regulators and practitioners.
