TSE European Competition Policy Workshop

Scope and objective

The TSE Competition Policy & Regulation Center is organizing an exceptional competition policy workshop on May 19-20, 2026, in Toulouse. 

This one-and-a-half-day workshop aims to foster dialogue between research and practice by bringing together professionals from EU competition authorities (NCAs and DG Comp), and TSE academics who have strong expertise in competition policy and regulation. 

The workshop will include a mix of recent research presentations by TSE faculty and case-based brainstorming sessions proposed by competition authorities on a voluntary basis. The format is designed to encourage participants to share their feedback.  

With this workshop, we would like to work together to help improve economic reasoning in policy debates and practices, refine research results and identify new research avenues, with a view to better addressing competition issues and improving practices in competition law enforcement.    

Program 

Program under construction – members of the organizing committee may reach out to the members of the European Competition Network (ECN) to plan the case-based brainstorming sessions. 

The workshop is scheduled from 9:00 AM on May 19 to 2:00 PM on May 20.

It is an on-site event only.
