Many of the problems raised by competition policy and market regulation gain from being addressed not only from an interdisciplinary perspective but also from an international one.
In 2012, BECCLE joined a European network of research institutions with a similar focus: CLEEN (Competition Law and Economics European Network).
As of June 2012, the network comprises, in addition to BECCLE:
- The Amsterdam Center for Law and Economics (ACLE) at the University of Amsterdam
- The Centre for Infocommunication Law at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Budapest
- The Centre for Competition Policy (CCP) at the University of East Anglia
- The Centre for Market and Public Organization (CMPO) at the University of Bristol
- The Mannheim Centre for Competition and Innovation, MACCI, University of Mannheim
- The Max-Planck Institute for research on collective goods, Bonn
- The Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies at the European University Institute, Florence
- The Tilburg Law and Economics Center, TILEC, Tilburg University
The cooperation is aimed at the joint organisation of conferences and workshops, exchange of data and ideas, the exchange of (PhD) researchers and – ultimately – joint research. So far, seven successful events took place, the latest having been held in May 2013 in Bergen.
