ICN Curriculum Project

Mission 

The mission of the ICN Curriculum Project is to create a comprehensive curriculum of training materials to serve as a virtual university on competition law and practice for competition agency officials. Training modules, consisting of video lectures and accompanying materials from a diverse group of international academics and practitioners, will provide an on-line interactive educational center for competition authorities from around the world.

Current Modules

The first four modules were released at the 2011 annual conference.  They are:

Module 1:  “The Origins and Aims of Competition Policy.”  VIEW MODULE

Module 2:  “Major Characteristics of Competition Policy.”  VIEW MODULE

Module 3:  “Market Definition.”   VIEW MODULE (click here for alternate link), then TAKE QUIZ

Module 4:  “Market Power.”  VIEW MODULE, then TAKE QUIZ

We encourage feedback from all interested persons.

Future Work

In the coming year, the ICN is developing additional training modules on topics that will be identified.  Each module will discuss the subject area in a conceptual and practical manner in order to assist competition agency officials in learning and implementing competition principles.
