The Chair MIR studies, the de- and re-regulation, as well as the governance and the management of the network industries, postal services, telecommunications, electricity, water distribution and sanitation, air transport and railways with a special focus on the role the ICTs play in both transforming and governing these industries. MIR has also extended its research activities into areas of innovation and risk in these industries, as their transformation makes them simultaneously more innovative and more vulnerable.

MIR also teaches Minor/Master courses on Corporate Governance and Industry Analysis, as well as PhD courses on De-/Re-Regulation of Network Industries, and on Qualitative Research Methods.

MIR edits a quarterly Newsletter with the section Economics of Infrastructures at TU Delft. In addition, MIR co-edits the Journal of Competition and Regulation in Network Industries (CRNI) and holds an annual conference associated with the journal.
