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.
A special note for paper presenters and panel members: The registration process via the link above is separate from the earlier conference call for proposals. Anyone whose paper has been accepted as part of the conference program will still be expected to register for the conference. To be included on the program, please register via the link above by April 30. And unless your proposal was specifically accepted as a remote presentation, the expectation is that you will be attending the conference in person.
Questions about the conference should be directed to regulation@law.upenn.edu.
Please note that more information will be added to this webpage as the conference date approaches, so be sure to check back for updates.
