1ST ANNUAL COMPETITION AND ECONOMIC REGULATION (ACER) WEEK, SOUTHERN AFRICA<\/strong><\/p>

Venue: Elephant Hills Resort Hotel, Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe<\/strong><\/p>

20 & 21 March 2015<\/strong><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

The Zimbabwean Competition and Tariff Commission (CTC) and the University of Johannesburg\u2019s Centre for Competition, Regulation and Economic Development (CCRED) are honoured to host the 1st Annual Competition and Economic Regulation (ACER) Week in Southern Africa. The ACER Week provides an opportunity to share lessons and developments in competition policy and economic regulation across the region as well as internationally. The week further aims to contribute to developing the capacity of competition authorities and economic regulators in the region.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Following registration on the evening of 16 March 2014 participants have a choice of one of three Short Learning Programmes (SLP) which will run from 17 to 19 March 2015 and are certified by the University of Johannesburg. Key facilitators include renowned international competition expert Professor Massimo Motta <\/strong>(ICREA Research Professor at Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Research Professor of the Barcelona Graduate School of Economics, and current Chief Competition Economist at DG Comp, European Commission),\u00a0Professor Chiara Fumagalli<\/strong>\u00a0(Avv. Giovanni Agnelli endowed Associate Professor in Economics at the University of Bocconi) and Professor Simon Roberts<\/strong>\u00a0(Director of CCRED). Each SLP will be taught by means of lectures covering the applicable theoretical framework, applications of the theory in actual case decisions, and practical case studies taught in workshop sessions based on real world examples. This approach means course participants develop a working knowledge of regulatory and competition principles and techniques in practice. The case studies and case examples are drawn from the extensive research that CCRED has done in different countries in Southern and East Africa in the competition and regulation fields, as well as from international jurisdictions.<\/p>

The Conference to be held on 20 and 21 March 2015 will offer an opportunity to share lessons and developments in competition and economic regulation internationally, with a special focus on Southern Africa, hosted in Zimbabwe, the current chair of SADC.<\/p>
