The Concurrences Ph.D. Awards are aimed at selecting and publishing the best thesis on specific topics in competition/regulation law or economics, excluding works on more general subjects, such as treatises and manuals. Where possible, Concurrences grants every year two Ph.D. Awards: Ph.D. Award in Competition Law, and, Ph.D. Award in Competition and Economics. Law theses must concern EU competition law, law in member States, or law in States linked by cooperation agreements to the EU, as well as comparative law research with a European dimension.
