TILEC's annual report for 2008 is now available on the TILEC website. The year 2008 turned out to be another successful year for TILEC. At the beginning of the year, TILEC signed a four-year cooperation with the Dutch healthcare regulator NZA to conduct research on competition in healthcare markets. The position of TILEC in the area of energy markets was strengthened further: the research contract with Essent was extended, and TILEC participates actively in the UNECOM network that investigates ownership unbundling of energy networks. A new project that started in 2008 concerns the economics of crime, sponsored by the Dutch Policy Academy and executed by Ben Vollaard. 2008 was filled with research activities: TILEC's fifth anniversary was celebrated with a high-level conference on 'Market Governance and Innovation'. Multiple workshops were organised in 2008 on various topics, such as 'the private enforcement of competition law', 'the future of regulation in energy markets', and 'innovation, intellectual property and competition policy'. Prestigious research grants were received, such as the VENI grant of Sigrid Suetens, and the Open NWO grant of Natalia Fiedziuk. TILEC's continuous challenge is to deepen the interdisciplinary cooperation between legal scholars and economists within its research programme.
