Bergen European law Research Group (BERG) consists of researchers working on various legal issues within general market law, competition law, state aid law, public procurement law, and other connected areas.
BERG functions primarily as a forum for academic discussions. On this site, the research group will report and publish updates on current topical events and activities.
Several of the researchers are also affiliated with BECCLE, and most of the activities take place at the centre. In addition to BERG's own activities and events, BECCLE frequently hosts seminars and events dealing with current competition law, economic and policy questions. BECCLE is located on the third floor of the JUS II-building, next to the main building of the Faculty of Law. Most of BERG's members have their offices here.
