23 April, 2020 - Prof. Spencer Waller, from Loyola University Chicago, speaks about the dark side of antitrust or the political face of US antitrust. 

26 March, 2020 - Judge Simon Holmes, from the Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT, UK) and Visiting Professor of Oxford University. Climate change is an existential threat. Judge Holmes argues that competition law must be part of the solution and not part of the problem. He draws on the constitutional provisions of the EU treaties and remarks by leaders to show how competition law need not stand in the way of urgent action and co-operation by the private sector to fight climate change. He also argues how sustainability would be relevant to both the  analysis of mergers and dominance cases. Thought provoking, Judge Holmes' ideas could inspire changes in different jurisdictions.
