The Competition Agency Leaders Executive Programme (CALEP) is a yearly training program co-organised by the OECD Competition Division and CRESSE. The programme is taught by eminent competition professors, lawyers, economists and members of the OECD Secretariat.

• learn about the latest developments in competition law in the EU, North America and other jurisdictions
• get acquainted with  OECD instruments, guidelines and best practices, as well as with recent OECD policy work and discussions on the digital economy and other topics

A multidisciplinary approach is followed, with courses in competition economics and law and in management taught by leading experts with deep expertise and vast practical experience in competition law and its enforcement from academia, policy world and from the private and public sector.
