Faculty of Law Lectures: Private: Recent Episodes
Cambridge University
Every year CELS organises an educational visit to the European Institutions in Brussels and Luxembourg, which is open to final year undergraduates and also postgraduate and research students at the Faculty of Law. The institutions visited include the European Commission, the Council of the European Union, the European Parliament, the Committee of the Regions, and the Court of Justice. Members of these institutions or their staff give presentations and discuss issues of European integration with the students. The visit provides invaluable first-hand experience of EU institutions, which cannot be obtained in the lecture room.
This is a recording of Dr Sophie Turenne and Mrs Felicity Eves-Rey explaining the visit to students interested in applying to attend.
This occasional lecture by Dr Johannes Lübking, Head of Unit at DG Competition of the European Commission, on the subject “Restoring Competition on the markets: Antitrust and Merger Remedies” was given at Emmanuel College on 31 October 2017.
Dr Johannes Lübking, LL.M. (EUI), is head of DG Competition's antitrust unit in the energy and environment sectors. He is leading a number of antitrust and cartel investigations in the European electricity, gas and bioethanol markets. Prior to joining the unit in 2015, Mr Lübking headed various merger units, including the Merger Case Support and Policy unit. He coordinated the Commission’s merger cases and policy projects in the field of merger control, such as the management of DG COMP’s role as co-chair of the ICN Merger Working Group and the preparation of the Commission's White Book on the review of the Merger Regulation. He previously dealt with the 2008 review of the Commission’s Remedies Notice as well as the Commission's merger cases and policy projects in the field of merger control, such as the management of DG COMP’s role as co-chair of the ICN Merger Working Group and the preparation of the Commission's White Book on the review of the Merger Regulation. He previously dealt with the 2008 review of the Commission’s Remedies Notice as well as the Commission's Jurisdictional Notice.
The University Challenge Quiz in aid of relief for the Haiti earthquake was held on 11th March 2010 at the Faculty of Law. In front of a packed lecture theatre, a team representing the Faculty and comprising Stuart Bridge, Janet O’Sullivan, Graham Virgo and Amy Goymour, faced a Cambridge Law Society team of Naomi Miles, Matthew Sinclair-Thompson, James Fox and Nathan Webb. Questions covered science, mathematics, history, music, and - of course - law. After no small amount of preparation and research, the Staff team were somewhat relieved to win by a landslide victory.
Tickets were sold for the event, and donations were collected in support of the DEC (Disasters Emergency Committee) Haiti Earthquake Appeal. A total of £1389.82 was raised. The event was sponsored by Freshfields and by Lexis Nexis.
