The Jevons Institute's external activities currently revolve around three
main initiatives to which it may add in coming years:

public annual event held in London on topical themes of Antitrust Law
and Regulation to which both students and antitrust experts are invited.
- The first edition in 2005 with Chief Judge Douglas Ginsburg of DC
Court of Appeals and President Bo Vesterdorf of the European Court of
First Instance focused on judicial review in EC and US antitrust law.

View Programme
Antitrust and Regulation Lectures Series: this series
comprises a minimum of three evening events at which experts in this field
are invited to debate a theme presented by a leading international expert.
At least one event per year will be presented by a scholar, policymaker,
judge or practitioner from outside the EU.
Colloquia on Antitrust and Regulation: this is a larger,
by-invitation-only, annual event with roundtable discussions on a theme
of interest in antitrust and regulation policy and enforcement. We aim
to make this a focal point for exchanges between faculty members with
international affiliated institutions. The first Colloquium held in May
2006 focused on the antitrust aspects of two-sided markets. The Colloquia
may be held outside of the UK at affiliated institutions.
Publication
Selected papers presented at the UCL Annual Forum and the Colloquia will
be published in Competition Policy International the review published
twice a year by eSapience (http://www.esapience.org/).
