Florence School of Regulation

The Florence School of Regulation (FSR) is a partnership between the European University Institute (EUI), the Council of the European Energy Regulators (CEER), the Independent Regulators Group (IRG) and the European Platform of Regulatory Authorities (EPRA), and it works closely with the European Commission. The FSR's objective is to expose the European dimension to regulatory topics and to contribute to the safeguarding of the common good of Europe by ensuring high-level and independent debate and research on economically and socially sound regulation. The FSR focuses on the regulation of the Energy sector (electricity and gas) with also a special focus on EU Energy Law and Policy, the regulation of the Communications & Media sectors (since 2009) and the regulation of the Transport sectors (since 2010). The FSR provides a European forum where academics and practitioners can meet and share their views and knowledge. It does this by: - providing state-of-the-art training and encouraging knowledge sharing with the most up-to-date tools, - organising policy events, conferences and executive seminars that deal with key regulatory issues, - promoting international networking through knowledge and practice exchange, - producing analytical and empirical research in the field of regulation.
