ASCOLA 2026

At the annual conference of the Academic Society for Competition Law (ASCOLA), which took place in London from 1 to 3 July 2026, The Competition Law Hub was represented by Franziska Guggi, Klaudia Majcher and Vicky Robertson. Franziska presented a chapter of her PhD in computational antitrust – stay tuned! Klaudia presented her working paper on epistemic welfare in competition law. Vicky presented a chapter of her forthcoming book, dealing with multi-stakeholder engagement in digital competition law. She also chaired a session on antitrust foundations, and discussed Richard Bunworth’s paper on the impact of Irish merger control.

ASCOLA 2026 was also a great opportunity to catch up with former visiting fellows of The Hub, including Belle Beems, Thomas Cheng, Helena Drewes, Eva Fischer and Wendy Ng.
