The Concept

COMPETE (Competitiveness, Opportunity and Money: Promoting the Economic Transformation of the EU) is the Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence at Dublin City University, coordinated by the Dublin European Law Institute (DELI). Led by Professor Federico Fabbrini, the Centre brings together DELI’s in-house expertise in EU law, politics, and economics to examine how the EU’s regulatory, fiscal, and financial frameworks shape competitiveness and economic transformation.

Reflecting the priorities set out in the Draghi and Letta reports, COMPETE focuses on three core drivers of competitiveness: Regulation, Public Money, and Private Money. Through conferences, seminars, blogs, podcasts, Working Papers, and policy briefs, the Centre produces policy-relevant analysis and shares it with policymakers, scholars, and the wider public.
