SUMMARY:7th Meeting of the Research Partnership Platform
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:​Considering the important role of research and policy analys
 is in the development of appropriate policies and legislation responding t
 o the challenges faced in the area of competition law and policy\, and con
 sumer protection\, UNCTAD created the Research Partnership Platform (RPP) 
 in 2010. RPP is an initiative that aims at contributing to the development
  of best practices in the formulation and effective enforcement of competi
 tion and consumer protection laws and policies which will eventually promo
 te sustainable and inclusive development. RPP brings together researchers 
 from universities\, research institutions\, competition authorities and ci
 vil society organizations. RPP is a platform for joint research\, dissemin
 ation of research results and exchange of ideas amongst scholars and pract
 itioners on issues and challenges faced particularly by developing countri
 es and economies in transition in the area of competition and consumer pro
 tection policies. UNCTAD\, through RPP\, facilitates data collection throu
 gh its wide network of competition and consumer protection agencies. The r
 ole of UNCTAD is to facilitate and provide guidance on the research and an
 alysis undertaken by researchers within RPP\, including through assisting 
 in data collection thanks to its worldwide network of competition and cons
 ume protection agencies. UNCTAD aims at benefiting from the research findi
 ngs in its technical assistance and capacity building activities. The rese
 arch undertaken within the RPP would result in joint publications (researc
 h papers\, policy briefs and research-based analytic notes) on competition
  and consumer protection issues. Since 2010\, the members of the RPP\, in
 terested researchers and UNCTAD staff get together at the margins of the a
 nnual session of the Intergovernmental Group of Experts on Competition Law
  and Policy\, and exchange views on ongoing projects and discuss new resea
 rch proposals.Currently\, UNCTAD Research Partnership Platform hosts over 
 sixty-five institutions consisting of research institutes\, universities\,
  non-governmental organizations\, corporate affiliates and competition age
 ncies. We have twelve active projects being carried out under the auspice
 s of the RPP\, and three completed projects on Competitive Neutrality\, C
 ompetition Law and the State (Phase I) and Measuring the Economic Effects
  of Cartels in Developing Countries. During the seventh meeting of the RPP
  on the morning of 19 October 2016\, we will discuss the progress achieved
  in the ongoing projects and hear new research project proposals. ​&lt\;
