ACER Week offers three targeted Professional Training Programmes (PTPs), which will run concurrently from 12 - 14 September 2022, covering key theoretical concepts in economic regulation, competition economics and law with illustrations on how the theories and principles are applied in practice.  This year, the PTPs on offer are Competition and Regulatory Economics for Practitioners, Law in Competition Policy and Advanced Competition and Regulatory Economics. Facilitated by a combination of esteemed academics and practitioners, both international and from the continent, the courses aim to empower participants with relevant skills and knowledge in these fields.
