From 2008-2011 the research institute has hosted the "Viennese Research Seminar on Regulated Network Industries". Several times a year the institute provides an opportunity to present research work in this particular field. Whereas relevant discussions have been taking place on an international level, a corresponding discussion forum is missing at the national level. The "Viennese Research Seminar on Regulated Network Industries" is designed to fill that gap.
