SUMMARY:[event] Geoffrey A. Manne: DMA Goes Global
DESCRIPTION:Organizer: Thibault Schrepel\, Associate Professor at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (ALTI). \nSpeaker: Geoffrey A. Manne is the president and founder of the International Center for Law and Economics (ICLE)\, a nonprofit\, nonpartisan research center based in Portland\, Oregon. He is also a Visiting Professor at IE University in Madrid\, and a distinguished fellow at Northwestern University’s Center on Law\, Business\, and Economics. Manne holds AB & JD degrees from the University of Chicago. He is an expert in the economic analysis of law\, focusing particularly on antitrust\, consumer protection\, telecom\, IP\, and technology regulation. From 2003 to 2006 he was an assistant professor at Lewis & Clark Law School where he taught law & economics\, international economic regulation\, corporations\, and other courses. In 2006 he decamped from Lewis & Clark to work in Microsoft’s legal department\, heading up a program on law & economics academic engagement. He subsequently founded ICLE in 2009. Prior to teaching\, Manne practiced antitrust law and appellate litigation at Latham & Watkins\, clerked for Hon. Morris S. Arnold on the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals\, and worked as a research assistant for Judge Richard A. Posner. He was also once (very briefly) employed by the FTC. His writings and publications are available at SSRN and ICLE. \nDescription: This presentation will examine the rise of Digital Competition Regulations (DCRs) such as the EU’s Digital Markets Act (DMA) and their global counterparts. It will argue that DCRs will depart fundamentally from traditional competition law\, prioritizing rent redistribution\, the facilitation of rivals\, and the deliberate weakening of successful platforms over consumer welfare or innovation. Drawing on cases like Apple’s DMA compliance and the Android Auto decision\, the talk will highlight the conceptual ambiguities\, innovation risks\, and broader paradigm shift these regulations will represent for competition policy worldwide. \nFormat: Geoffrey A. Manne will give a 30-minute talk\, followed by a discussion moderated by Dr. Thibault Schrepel and a Q&A with the audience. \n

SUMMARY:Inaugural Conference: Space Law & Sustainability Center (VU ALTI & ASI)
DESCRIPTION:VU Amsterdam has repeatedly been recognized as the most sustainable university in the Netherlands and\, in 2023\, made a groundbreaking decision to cut ties with fossil fuel companies that do not comply with the Paris Agreement. It is only natural for our university’s focus on sustainable development to extend beyond Earth’s boundaries. \nThe Space Law & Sustainability Center is founded by two existing VU institutes\, Amsterdam Law & Technology Institute (ALTI) and Amsterdam Sustainability Institute (ASI)\, with the purpose of providing an interdepartmental platform for dialogue and multidisciplinary collaboration within the VU Amsterdam community\, focusing on the expanding scope of human activities in outer space. The Center enhances cross-faculty collaboration by demonstrating how ‘space’ connects multiple expertise because it acts as an enabler for the fulfillment of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. \nThe Amsterdam Center for Space Law & Sustainability contributes to the activities of the UNSDSN Dutch chapter hosted at VU Amsterdam. Externally\, the Center engages in valorization and impact activities within the Dutch ecosystem and at international level. It aims to collaborate with universities\, research centers\, the private sector\, NGOs and public bodies. \nJoin us on 20 June 2025 in Amsterdam & online for the launch event!  \nThis launch will be marked by an international conference aimed at defining “space sustainability” as a matter of international security. In the context of rapidly expanding space activities\, urgent challenges have emerged—ranging from the accumulation of orbital debris and the militarization of space to the commercialization of space resources without adequate regulatory oversight. Alongside national and international experts\, we will examine the provisions of the Pact of the Future\, a landmark UN Resolution A/RES/79/1 adopted in September 2024\, referring\, among others\, to the need for new frameworks concerning space debris\, space traffic management\, and space resources. The conference will also present a set of critical and innovative assessments concerning the adoption of artificial intelligence and quantum technologies in outer space as well as a series of multidisciplinary approaches to space sustainability. \nAlongside national and international experts we will discuss the following topics: \n\nEUROPEAN PERSPECTIVES (LEGAL & TECHNICAL) ON SPACE SUSTAINABILITY & SECURITY\nFUTURE FRAMEWORKS IN LINE WITH THE UNITED NATIONS PACT OF THE FUTURE\nARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE & QUANTUM TECH FOR SPACE SECURITY: LEGAL IMPLICATIONS\nINTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACHES TO SPACE SUSTAINABILITY\nINTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION FOR SUSTAINABLE & SECURE SPACE\n\nParticipation is free\, but registration is required. Register here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n

SUMMARY:[event] Richard S. Markovits: The Impact of Mergers on R&D
DESCRIPTION:Organizer: Thibault Schrepel\, Associate Professor at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (ALTI). \nSpeaker: Richard Markovits is the John B. Connally Chair in Law at the University of Texas. He teaches and writes in the areas of antitrust\, law and economics\, constitutional law and jurisprudence. He is the author of articles in the Harvard Law Review\, Yale Law Journal\, Stanford Law Review and elsewhere as well as the book Matters of Principle: Legitimate Legal Argument and Constitutional Interpretation (NYU\, 1998)\, Truth or Economics: On the Definition\, Prediction\, and Relevance of Economic Efficiency (Yale\, 2008)\, and Economics and the Interpretation and Application of U.S. and E.U. Antitrust Law (two vols.) (Springer\, 2014). He came to Texas from Stanford Law School in 1976. \nDescription: This talk will examine how mergers and acquisitions affect R&D investment through two mechanisms: reducing price competition (which increases investment) and altering investment competition intensity (an overlooked factor in antitrust analysis). It will then challenge the assumption that more R&D will always be economically efficient\, arguing that product R&D will tend to be over-incentivized while production-process R&D will be under-incentivized due to market imperfections. Prof. Markovits will further contend that current policies combining IP protections with immediate R&D expense deductions create uncertainty about optimal investment levels because we are not able to accurately measure how individual projects affect discovery probabilities or the true breadth of IP protection across different types of innovations. \nFormat: Prof. Richard S. Markovits will give a 30-minute talk\, followed by a discussion moderated by Dr. Thibault Schrepel and a Q&A with the audience. \nLoading…

SUMMARY:[event] Herbert Hovenkamp: Tech Monopolies
DESCRIPTION:Organizer: Thibault Schrepel\, Associate Professor at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (ALTI). \nSpeaker: Herbert Hovenkamp is the James G. Dinan University Professor at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School and the Wharton School. He is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences\, and in 2008 won the Justice Department’s John Sherman Award for his lifetime contributions to antitrust law.

He has consulted on numerous antitrust cases for various government entities and private plaintiffs. He has two sons. \nDescription: In an era defined by the dominance of tech giants such as Amazon\, Apple\, Meta\, and Microsoft\, questions surrounding market power\, consumer harm\, and regulatory intervention are more urgent than ever. Join us for a timely and thought-provoking conversation with Herbert Hovenkamp\, one of the world’s leading antitrust scholars\, as he presents insights from his new book\, Tech Monopoly. In this talk\, Professor Hovenkamp will explore how antitrust law grapples with the complexities of digital markets\, ranging from software and search engines to online retail and hardware. He will examine how features like two-sided markets\, data aggregation\, and platform effects challenge traditional competition analysis and enforcement. From foundational legal principles to pressing policy debates (such as whether Big Tech firms should be broken up and what remedies might actually benefit users) this event offers a clear and accessible entry point into one of today’s most contentious economic issues. Whether you are a legal scholar\, economist\, policymaker\, a practitioner\, or simply interested in the intersection of law and technology\, this discussion will provide valuable tools for understanding and evaluating the current state of antitrust law in the digital age. \nFormat: Prof. Herbert Hovenkamp will give a 30-minute talk\, followed by a discussion moderated by Dr. Thibault Schrepel and a Q&A with the audience.

SUMMARY:[event] Godefroy de Boiscuillé: The EU Digital Single Market Paradox
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Godefroy de Boiscuillé is Maître de Conférences at Côte d’Azur University and Co-Director of the Chair Competition & Digital Economics at Panthéon-Assas University Paris II. \nDescription: The goal of creating a unified digital economy is being undermined by the steady rise in trade barriers\, often framed under the innocuous term “ex ante regulation.” This presentation will focus on four key points: (1) In digital markets\, the approach of negative integration—removing barriers to trade—is increasingly contradicted by new measures that have effects equivalent to quantitative restrictions. (2) The strategy of positive integration—establishing EU-wide norms and standards—is weakened by the proliferation of conflicting standards. (3) Exceptions to the free movement of goods are multiplying\, justified by objectives that often conflict with other equally important goals. (4) While the Digital Single Market is based on the principles of the common market\, it introduces a less liberal philosophy compared to the traditional internal market framework. Together\, these dynamics reveal a paradox: the very goal of a unified digital market risks being undermined by the growing layers of regulation fragmenting the digital economy. \nFormat: Dr. de Boiscuillé will give a 30-minute talk\, which will be followed by a discussion moderated by Dr. Thibault Schrepel. \n  \nLoading…

SUMMARY:[event] Substance Over Slogans: Strengthening The Foundations of Antitrust
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\nABOUT:\nOur aim for this conference is to look past the headlines and politicized arguments that have defined the last several years of competition-policy discourse to examine the current academic foundations of antitrust and what they say about contemporary competition policy. \nThe competition-policy landscape is shifting almost as rapidly as the industries it seeks to regulate. Over the past few years\, a new trend has seemingly taken hold of the field: Scholars and enforcers increasingly reject the economically grounded learnings of decades of legal analysis\, enforcement experience\, and applied industrial organization research in favor of untested policy initiatives reflecting mostly political preferences\, not rigorous scholarship. \nAgainst this backdrop\, our Paris conference will discuss the state of the art of economic and legal research\, and explore whether and where it may provide a rigorously supported basis for departing from antitrust’s traditional foundations. \nThe conference will bring together an unparalleled assembly of top academics\, influential policymakers\, and business experts to engage in a dynamic exploration of the assumptions that underpin contemporary competition enforcement. \nCONFIRMED SPEAKERS:\n\nPinar Akman (University of Leeds)\nBrian Albrecht (ICLE)\nGustavo Augusto (Administrative Council for Economics Defense)\nDirk Auer (ICLE)\nReiko Aoki (Japan Fair Trade Commission)\nDennis W. Carlton (University of Chicago)\nAndy Chen (Taiwan Fair Trade Commission)\nKenneth Elzinga (University of Virginia)\nCani Fernández Vicién (Spanish National Markets and Competition Commission)\nRichard Gilbert (Berkeley)\nOliver Hart (Harvard)\nMelissa Holyoak (U.S. Federal Trade Commission)\nHerbert Hovenkamp (University of Pennsylvania)\nMarc Ivaldi (Toulouse School of Economics)\nFrédéric Jenny (ESSEC Business School)\nGinger Zhe Jin (University of Maryland)\nGeoffrey Manne (ICLE)\nFrancisco Marcos (IE Law School Madrid)\nPhilip Marsden (Bank of England)\nNicolas Petit (European University Institute)\nLazar Radic (IE Law School Madrid)\nThibault Schrepel (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam)\nPaul Seabright (Toulouse School of Economics)\nKoren W.
