Damien is also Director of the Global Competition Law Centre (GCLC), a think tank devoted to analytical research in the area of competition law, which is based at the College of Europe in Bruges. He advises firms, governments and regulatory agencies in a range of industries, including telecommunications, postal services, energy and transport.
