Competition Pills

A brand-new Competition Law & Economics newsletter by the Competition Society of the College of Europe

The Competition Society of the College of Europe serves as a platform for students interested in competition law and economics. The Society brings together a diverse community of students with backgrounds in both law and economics who share an interest in how competition policy operates in practice and in theory. 

In March 2026, the Competition Society of the Victoria Amelina Promotion (2025-2026) launched “Competition Pills”, a newsletter dedicated to competition law and economics.
