Congress Goals

The Congress was jointly organized by the Real Colegio Complutense, the Institute for Global Law and Policy (Harvard Law School) and the Department of Commercial Law at the UCM. The emphasis of this Congress is analysis and debate about some of the key issues in the current regulation and corporate financial system, comparing the European experience (with special reference to the Spanish situation) with the U.S. The structure of the Congress tries to promote a fruitful exchange between all the speakers and provide attendees with information and materials especially valid with respect to the issues discussed.

Congress Potential Attendants

Congress has been prepared considering that the attendees will be mainly young researchers and university professors and lawyers with expertise in the subjects treated. For both the monitoring of certain classes and for proper utilization of the materials to be provided to attendees, it requires a good level of English proficiency.
