In December 2023, we hosted the second annual Regulation Research Conference in Regensburg. The event featured a distinguished lineup of speakers, including Omri Ben-Shahar from University of Chicago, who delivered a thought-provoking keynote on personalized law. Our gratitude goes out to all the participants for their valuable insights and engaging contributions that enriched our discussions. The vibrant exchange of ideas and lively debates truly made the conference a success. As we reflect on the success of last year’s RRC, we eagerly anticipate the opportunity to gather once again in 2024, with renewed enthusiasm and a commitment to furthering the discourse on regulatory research. Thank you all for making the conference a memorable experience, and we look forward to building upon this success in the upcoming year.
