The Penn Program on Regulation is pleased to host the inaugural conference of a new International Association on Regulation & Governance. This two-day conference, which will be held on the University of Pennsylvania campus on June 17-18, 2024, will focus on the theme of “Regulatory Governance in a Changing World.”
We aim for this new association to bring together regulatory scholars and practitioners from diverse fields and perspectives and from all regions of the world. We seek to strengthen global connections in the pursuit of cross-disciplinary collaboration and research, the promotion of professional networking and mentorship, and ultimately the advancement of the study of regulation and regulatory governance as academic fields.
The registration link above is for anyone who wishes to attend the conference.
Questions about the conference should be directed to regulation@law.upenn.edu.
