Fostering Closer Relationships amongst ASCOLA Members in Asia



Hello, ASCOLA Asia. Having successfully launched a series of regional activities in fall 2019, we have now entered the second phase. Covid-19 has changed the way we interact with each other and made digital services even more critical. Meanwhile, the geopolitical situation is changing as sovereign states introduce restrictive measures that affect international trade. Competition laws and policies now face new sets of challenges, which require further research and attention. As scholars continue to work, ASCOLA Asia will provide an intellectual platform and establish networks by fostering closer relationships amongst its members.




ASCOLA Asia Activities Online



In Asia, countries’ borders remain largely closed. Most ASCOLA activities, which include online seminars and workshops as well as What’s On , are now held online. As vaccinations rates increase and the number of Covid-19 cases fall, many are considering what will happen at the end of the pandemic. ASCOLA Asia looks forward to gathering in person again soon. Until that time, we will continue to organise online activities.




Building Broader and Stronger Research Networks across Asia



Asia has a unique market structure, and its countries encompass a diverse range of laws and rules and societal political backgrounds. From these, researchers can obtain an abundance of lessons and experiences. To explore these, ASCOLA seeks new insights and perspectives from a variety of disciplines and backgrounds. Given the dramatically changing market structure and the scale of challenges it creates, we need a consistent flow of new information and knowledge. We wholeheartedly welcome your input.
