With a focus on competition law and economics, The Florence Competition Programme (FCP) is a hub where European and international competition enforcers and other stakeholders can exchange ideas, share best-practices, debate emerging policy issues and enhance their networks. The project is directed by Professor Pier Luigi Parcu who is supported by a research team and a scientific committee of well-known experts.
By linking training, policy debate and research activity together with the presence and inputs of a varied community of scholars and practitioners, it creates a common cultural space where major scientific projects can be carried out.
The training for national judges in competition law and economics, ENTraNCE for Judges, co-funded by DG Competition of the European Commission and organised by the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies since 2011, is also among the key activities carried out by the FCP.
