Erasmus + project Jean Monnet Module EU Competition Law is a joint result of a team of professors from the Faculty of Law in Osijek and the Faculty of Economics in Osijek.
Sažetak projekta / Project abstract
Competition law is one of the Union’s key policies. Competition Law rules are interpreted and applied by lawyers and economist. Competition Law enforcement equally relies on legal and economic analysis. Competition Agency employees are always comprised of lawyers and economists. Therefore it is necessary that Competition Law is thought at both Faculties, Faculty of Law as well as a Faculty of Economics. While EU Competition law is (for some time) thought as a compulsory course at Faculty of Law in Osijek, this is not a case at Faculty of Economics. Students of Faculty of Economics so far had no opportunity to gain any knowledge about EU Competition Law. Moreover, EU Law is still neglected in the education of future economic experts who will in their professional life inevitably work in the Internal Market and therefore will have to understand and apply EU Law as well as EU Competition law. In order to fill that gap in education of student of economy at Faculty of Economics in Osijek, purpose of this project is 1) to introduce new specially tailored course on EU Competition Law at Faculty of Economics in Osijek (mainly non EU related studies) and to upgrade an existing Clinical course and thus to foster multidisciplinary networking and research of two partner institutions from same University; improve the quality of education; promote excellence in teaching, provide the first teaching experience to young scholar and prospective PhD candidate, increase visibility of two partner institutions from same University 2) Project will foster international and multidisciplinary networking and research with the involvement of young researchers in their first teaching experience; 3) through specific project activities (Live client clinic, workshops etc.) increase knowledge and awareness of local undertakings about EU Competition Law rules and thus influence their competitiveness at the internal market and promote EU values.
