ABOUT THE INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS & REGULATORY RESEARCH DAY
International Congress on Professional and Occupational Regulation
For regulatory leaders looking for the chance to examine how global trends in professional and occupational regulation impact their own organizations, CLEAR’s International Congress on Professional and Occupational Regulation offers an interactive and dynamic forum to explore the most salient issues for the international regulatory community. Unlike traditional conferences, CLEAR’s International Congress employs a format of interactive education sessions and roundtable discussion groups to engage regulatory leaders in dialogue and active problem-solving for regulatory authorities both locally and around the world.
Regulatory Research Day
The Regulatory Research Day encourages information-sharing and networking among international researchers, regulators, accreditation authorities and practitioners. Join us as we explore the role research plays in shaping regulatory policy-making, and discuss the steps necessary to pursue an international research agenda. The event will include presentations on local and international research, opportunities for networks to be strengthened, and innovations in regulatory arrangements to be explored.
