Moreover, they allow the participants to get to know other young researcher who work on related topics. MaCCI is encouraging its doctoral students and postdocs to participate in these events. Moreover, MaCCI is also supporting two summer schools in the competition and innovation field this year. These are the Competition and Innovation Summer School (CISS) and the ZEW Summer School on Design of Institutions: Regulation and Markets. The CISS, which was held in Turkey until 2015, had to be cancelled last year for political reasons. However, this year the event will take place in a new location: Cala Liberotto/Orisei, Italy. In Mannheim, ZEW organizes a summer school every year, with the topic changing according to the preferences of the organizing department.
