Competition
law has achieved a strong presence in Austria over the last decade, both in practice
and in academia. However, female practitioners of competition law are often not
as visible as their actual involvement in the shaping and enforcement of
competition law would suggest.
The
initiative Women in Competition Law
Network Austria – WCNA was founded in spring 2018 in order to strenghten the position of female competition law experts.
WCNA's aim is to:
-
create a network of female practitioners of
competition law in Austria, comprising women who are active in private
practice, at the Austrian Cartel Court, the Federal Competition Authority or
other agencies dealing with competition law, including universities, and
- unveil the capabilities and expertise of these women
and to exchange know how, through informal gatherings and/or more formal
events.
