Organization and structure

Currently, the MaCCI is engaged in several research projects that are divided into four different research clusters:

  • Public and Private Enforcement of Competition Law
  • Evaluation of Competition Policy Rules and Institutions
  • Requirements for an Efficient and Reliable Design of Electricity Markets
  • Net Neutrality – Governmental Support and Options

Research and focus

The major objective of the Mannheim Centre for Competition and Innovation (MaCCI) is to stimulate and disseminate research in the area of competition, regulation and innovation policy, broadly defined.[4] The MaCCI community consists of researchers of the ZEW and the University of Mannheim who have a law or economics focus in the fields of competition, regulation and innovation policy. MaCCI further provides a platform for discussions between academic re‐ searchers and practitioners through the organization of recurrent events such as the MaCCI Annual Conference, the Mannheim Energy Conference, the MaCCI Law & Economics Conference, the MaCCI Summer Institute on Competition Policy, or the Mannheim Competition Policy Forum (MCPF).[5]
