Procurement conferences & webinars: dates for the diary

Before your agenda fills up for the coming Spring and Summer, consider putting the following dates on your diary. These are all events where I will be participating. It would be lovely to have a chance to meet (again).

25-26 April 2023 - Public Procurement Conference – Centralization and new trends. Organised by Prof Carina Risvig Hamer and held at the Law Faculty of the University of Copenhagen. It promises to provide two full days of discussions on emerging and challenging procurement governance issues.

27 April 2023 - PhD Conference in Public Procurement & Competition Law. Also organised by Prof Carina Risvig Hamer and Magdalena Socha, and held at the Law Faculty of the University of Copenhagen. A good opportunity for PhD students to present work-in-progress and receive feedback, and for everyone to have a grasp of where emerging research is leading.
