SUMMARY:[event] Teodora Groza: Governing Foundation Models
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Teodora Groza is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Tübingen. She has obtained a PhD in law from Sciences Po Law School and has held visiting positions at Harvard Law School and Stanford Law School. Her work is underlined by the belief that technological developments need to be paired with governance innovations and investigates the fitness of various legal interventions for ensuring AI alignment. Methodologically\, she leverages the toolkit of law and economics\, in particular organizational and institutional economics. \nShe has published on data markets\, the governance of AI companies\, the role of regulation in promoting innovation\, and the impact of new business models on the EU and US antitrust frameworks. She regularly intervenes at academic\, civil society\, and industry conferences. \nDescription: Senior executives of frontier AI labs have recently described AI foundation models as either “infrastructures” or “platforms.” Although these terms are often used interchangeably in legal and governance debates\, economists distinguish between the effects and incentive structures they generate. This talk examines the role of foundation models in today’s economy and disentangles their platform-like and infrastructure-like characteristics. Building on this distinction\, it situates foundation models within the existing regulatory architectures of platforms (e.g. social media\, digital marketplaces) and infrastructures (e.g. public utilities). It then analyzes how different governance choices would shape access\, competition\, and the allocation of regulatory authority. \nOrganizer: Thibault Schrepel\, Associate Professor at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (ALTI). \nFormat: Teodora Groza 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] Competition and the Wealth of Nations
DESCRIPTION:Substance Over Slogans:\nCompetition and the Wealth of Nations\nPlease join us for a unique antitrust conference\, “Substance Over Slogans: Competition and the Wealth of Nations” on March 13\, 2026\, at the Palazzo Ripetta in Rome\, Italy. \nOur aim for this conference is to look past the headlines and oft-politicized arguments that have defined the last several years of competition-policy discourse to examine the current academic foundations of antitrust through a rigorous assessment of the legal and economic state of play—this year with a deliberately multidisciplinary lens that pairs subject-matter experts from adjacent fields with antitrust scholars and practitioners. \nThe competition-policy landscape is shifting rapidly\, and making sense of it now requires a genuinely multidisciplinary vantage point. This year’s conference aims to assemble subject-matter experts from fields as diverse as the AI\, cloud\, and chips stack; management and productivity; geopolitics and digital sovereignty; venture capital and bankruptcy. By pairing these voices with leading antitrust scholars\, we aim to translate external evidence into concrete implications for enforcement\, remedies\, and process—clarifying\, for example\, when vertical integration in the AI stack is pro-competitive\, how reallocation conditions shape contestability\, where industrial policy complements rivalry\, and which institutional guardrails best sustain competitive markets over time. \nAgainst this backdrop\, our Rome conference will bring together an unparalleled assembly of top academics\, influential policymakers\, and business experts to discuss the state of the art of economic and legal research and to translate external expertise into concrete implications for enforcement\, remedies\, and institutional design. Each session features a concise 10–15 minute briefing by a subject-matter expert\, followed by a moderated conversation with antitrust discussants. \nOur goal is to investigate the current state of antitrust policy\, focusing on substance over slogans. \nHosted by: \n\nThe International Center for Law & Economics (Geoffrey A.
