Our team, headed by Prof. Dr. Rupprecht Podszun, undertakes research in the fields of digital regulation, competition law / antitrust law, unfair practices law and some aspects of intellectual property law. In particular, we analyse the work of the European Commission in these fields and the work of the Bundeskartellamt (the German national competition agency). Rupprecht Podszun advised the German Parliament and the EU Parliament as an expert for the Digital Markets Act (DMA) and the reform of competition law.

Prof. Podszun is one of the directors of the Institute for Competition Law at HHU and the President of ASCOLA, the Academic Society for Competition Law, the global organisation of competition law scholars. He is also a Substitute Member of the German Commission for Media Concentration Control (KEK).
In recent times, we focused on questions of digital regulation (including data law) and the "green transformation": What is the role of law when two path-breaking developments in technology and climate change heavily start to impact markets?
