From May 7 to 9, 2025, the International Competition Network (ICN 2025) conference was held in Edinburgh, Scotland, where our Center's employee, the “El-Yurt Umidi” Foundation scholar and a master's student at the University of Reading (United Kingdom), M. Mirzaeva, participated.

This significant conference was attended by representatives of competition authorities from more than 100 countries, as well as leading scholars, economists, and legal experts. During the event, key topics such as the development of competition in the digital economy, consumer rights protection, and the expansion of international cooperation were discussed.

M. Mirzaeva gave a presentation on the reforms being implemented in Uzbekistan in the areas of digital market regulation, competition development, and consumer protection, particularly on the scientific and practical activities carried out by the Competition Policy and Consumer Rights Research Center.

Her presentation was met with great interest by the conference participants. Additionally, she actively participated in international panel discussions, addressing issues of future scientific collaboration with leading experts.

The participation of our staff in such international events is of great importance for enhancing our scientific potential, studying best practices, and promoting Uzbekistan's competition policy on a global level.

We wish M. Mirzaeva continued success in her future professional endeavors!
