Support

The Regulatory Policy Institute occupies a unique position in the field of regulatory studies:

• it is dedicated to the study of regulation in general, for the public benefit;
• it is a source of independent, authoritative analysis of regulatory policy problems and issues; and
• it offers a forum or 'marketplace' for discussion and debate which is detached from the political, administrative and legal contexts in which exchanges frequently take place.

The maintenance and development of this position depends upon support received from individuals and organisations, in all parts of the world, who are interested in contributing to the evolution of more effective public policies.

Sponsorship

Also welcome is sponsorship for particular activities, such as

• The Hertford Seminars in Regulation, and occasional seminars;
• Conferences, including the annual Oxford Competition Policy Conference;

Benefactions

The Institute owes its existence to an initial set of benefactions, which provided the resources to develop the original concept. Benefactions have the particular advantage of supporting more innovative developments in research and in other activities.

New activities

The Institute is always keen to talk to potential supporters who have ideas about new activities that might contribute to its overall objectives.
