Institute for Globalisation and International Regulation

IGIR focuses on the concept of “Trust in Trade”. This serves as overarching focal point for analysing the regulation of global markets and the roles played by national, regional, and international actors and institutions. The institute has also established three specialised research clusters that concentrate on international economic regulation in the domain of sustainability, technological innovation, and competition.
