Announcement Regarding the Application Process for Competition Law in Practice Seminars 2025

The call for papers for the Competition Law in Practice Seminars 2025 ended on December 20, 2024. During the call, 52 different abstracts were submitted. Since some of them will be presented by more than one person, the abstracts were submitted by 71 different persons. The number of abstracts without including the same person's name is 43. We sincerely thank all applicants. 

Due to these submissions, we anticipate a more competitive process in the selection phase, resulting in a higher quality programme and book. Considering that the programme has been continuing for 20 years and more than 400 papers have been presented during this period, we think and hope that the 2025 programme will also make significant contributions to the development of the competition law. Although it will be determined after the academic calender for the spring semester is announced and the number of lecture weeks is determined, we estimate that we will be able to include 15 or 16 of the 52 abstracts we have received.

In the selection phase, the proposals will be anonymously evaluated by the Academic Selection Commitee consisting of 6 members and will be scored by giving a score between 1 and 10 points. Subsequently, a ranking will be made according to the topics with the highest number of points and the top 15 or 16 abstracts will be included in the programme. Although we have received numerous of applications, we will make every effort to announce the results in accordance with our previously announced schedule.
