We host one-to-one interviews with leading policymakers, regulators and practitioners. We also organise online mini-workshops inviting high-profile experts and academics in various fields of digital competition law & policy to discuss the most vibrant issues of the ongoing regulatory reforms in digital markets. While having our clear normative stand on the matters discussed within the hub, we value different views and invite relevant stakeholders and thinkers representing the whole spectrum of reasonable positions on how to regulate competition in digital markets. Our purpose is not to convey a message, but to contribute to the discussion; the main criterion for selecting invitees is the easy-going way they share their expertise. All our materials are available at YouTube channel, which you are very welcome to subscribe to. This panel is organised & conducted by Prof. Oles Andriychuk, School of Law, University of Exeter.
