Presentation

Kathrine Søs Jacobsen Cesko holds an Assistant Professorship in Competition Law and Public Procurement Law.                                                     

In 2022, Kathrine Søs Jacobsen Cesko was awarded her PhD degree. Her PhD thesis titled ‘Collaboration between Economic Operators in the Competition for Public Contracts: A Legal and Economic Analysis of Grey Zones between EU Public Procurement Law and EU Competition Law’ concerns the intersection between EU competition law and EU public procurement law when economic operators collaborate to meet the requirements of public contracts. The PhD thesis focuses on particular forms of collaboration between economic operators and how these are evaluated under both legal regimes and brings forth a novel perspective by focusing on which forms are illegal under competition law, but also by discussing which collaborative forms are possible within public procurement in a competition framework. The PhD thesis adopts an interdisciplinary approach by its application of both legal sources and economic theories in order to understand the economic consequences of collaboration between economic operators and seeks to combine a modernized approach to public procurement law with modern competition law and economics understanding

Furthermore, Kathrine is a co-founder of Competition Law Lab. For more information, please visit: Copenhagen Competition Law Lab website
