Effective competition law is vital for fair markets, consumer protection, and inclusive growth. This program supports high-quality research that deepens understanding of South Africa’s competition frameworks, enforcement mechanisms, and market dynamics — with special attention to township, rural, small buyer, and supplier markets.
Thematic areas include constitutional and institutional frameworks, market regulation, consumer behaviour, cartel detection, merger impacts, public interest considerations, and emerging issues such as data and privacy. Proposals should generate actionable insights that strengthen enforcement and inform policy.
💡 Grants of up to R150,000 are available per approved proposal, supporting doctoral students, post-doctoral researchers, academics, and experienced researchers affiliated with South African institutions.
