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 Work

As part of a pilot program, the ICN is developing training modules on three topics: (1) history and objectives of antitrust and competition policy; (2) market definition; and (3) market power.  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. The modules will be presented to the ICN membership at the ICN’s May 2011 annual conference.

A video clip on geographic market definition, featuring Richard Whish, professor at King’s College, University of London, was shown at the ICN’s 2010 annual conference to introduce the project. The video clip is available here.
