SUMMARY:Seventh Meeting of the Research Partnership Platform on Competition
  and Consumer Protection
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.\n\nRPP is an initiative that aims at contributing to the developm
 ent of best practices in the formulation and effective enforcement of comp
 etition and consumer protection laws and policies which will eventually pr
 omote sustainable and inclusive development.\n\nRPP brings together resear
 chers from universities\, research institutions\, competition authorities 
 and civil society organizations. RPP is a platform for joint research\, di
 ssemination of research results and exchange of ideas amongst scholars and
  practitioners on issues and challenges faced particularly by developing c
 ountries and economies in transition in the area of competition and consum
 er protection policies. UNCTAD\, through RPP\, facilitates data collection
  through its wide network of competition and consumer protection agencies.
 \n\nThe role of UNCTAD is to facilitate and provide guidance on the resear
 ch and analysis undertaken by researchers within RPP\, including through a
 ssisting in data collection thanks to its worldwide network of competition
  and consume protection agencies. UNCTAD aims at benefiting from the resea
 rch findings in its technical assistance and capacity building activities.
  The research undertaken within the RPP would result in joint publications
  (research papers\, policy briefs and research-based analytic notes) on co
 mpetition and consumer protection issues.\n \nSince 2010\, the members of
  the RPP\, interested researchers and UNCTAD staff get together at the mar
 gins of the annual session of the Intergovernmental Group of Experts on Co
 mpetition Law and Policy\, and exchange views on ongoing projects and disc
 uss new research proposals.\nCurrently\, UNCTAD Research Partnership Platf
 orm hosts over sixty-five institutions consisting of research institutes\,
  universities\, non-governmental organizations\, corporate affiliates and 
 competition agencies.\n\nWe have twelve active projects being carried out
  under the auspices of the RPP\, and three completed projects on Competiti
 ve Neutrality\, Competition Law and the State (Phase I) and Measuring th
 e 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 p
 roposals.\n​\n/topic/competition-and-consumer-protection/research-partne
