On 13-14 June 2022 takes place the conference "Public Procurement: Global Revolution XI" organised by the University of Nottingham. University of Tartu School of Law is one of the collaborators.

The Global Revolution series of conferences has become a firm fixture in the public procurement calendar since its inception in 1997. With around 300 delegates and speakers from all over the globe, the last in person event held at Nottingham in June 2019 brought together an impressive array of public procurement experts and talent, including representatives from most of the major international institutions working in public procurement, purchasing professionals, lawyers and consultants, as well as academics.

After three years and a successful virtual conference in 2021, the conference welcomes people in person in Nottingham this year. This years key conference themes are about sustainability, data and data visualisation. A separate key theme are discussions about procurement in practice, crisis recovery, digitalisation, auditing procurement and a lot more. In addition, there will be discussions about post-brexit procurement. University of Tartu School of Law Associate Professor in Civil Law Mari Ann Simovart is leading an Estonian Research Council (ETAg) funded project "Public administration vs public procurement: legal aspects of a "make or buy" decision" which work team (Mari Ann Simovart, Carri Ginter, Ivo Pilving, PhD student Kadri Härginen and expert Mario Sõrm) will present the first results of the research grant.

All key conference themes are found on the conference website.

The conference is directed by Professor Annamaria La Chimia and Dr Peter Trepte.
