Conferences & Workshops
The Center for Law & Economics organizes research-related events on a regular basis. Here is a list of our next events:
Munich Summer Institute
May 22 – 24, 2024
Jointly organized by ETH Zurich, TUM, Ludwigs-Maximilians-University of Munich and the Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition, the Munich Summer Institute aims at stimulating a rigorous in-depth discussion of a select number of research papers and to strengthen the interdisciplinary international research community in these areas.
Workshop & Lecture Series
In various compositions, four Swiss universities offer two joint law and economics seminar series each year. In each seminar series, guest scholars present their work in a lecture and discuss their ongoing research in a workshop. Guest scholars come from around the world and include researchers from law, economics, and related fields. Each spring semester, the general Workshop and Lecture Series in Law & Economics is organized by ETH's Center for Law & Economics as well as the University of Lucerne, the University of St. Gallen and the University of Zurich. Each fall semester, the CLE as well as the Universities of St. Gallen and Zurich organize the Workshop & Lecture Series on the Law & Economics of Innovation.
All series include a mix of speakers who represent the wide range of current social science research methods applied to legal questions in general, to intellectual property, innovation, antitrust policy and technology policyissues. Theoretical models, empirical and experimental research as well as legal research methods are represented. Taken together, the workshop and lecture series present the current international frontier in interdisciplinary research in various areas of law and economics.
