With these seminars, the CLPRC aims to develop a better understanding of current competition law issues in Turkey, the EU, and around the globe and provide a forum for academic discussion in the field. Since its inception in 2006, the seminar programme has been able to attract public attention and gained a well-deserved reputation as a high-level discussion venue for scholars, practitioners, and enforcement officers in the field.
