Admission to research work is conditional on the successful completion of the course work and related exams.

At the beginning of the second year of the program, short intensive modules in a few selected areas are offered, at the School and the University of Strasbourg, in order to introduce the students to the international state-of-the-art of research.

Teaching modules are complemented by research seminars throughout the year. All teaching is in English.

Main areas of research of internal and/or associated faculty where thesis work is also encouraged, include Economics of Innovation, Models and Empirical Studies of Industrial and Economic Dynamics, Organisation Theory, Economics of Public Goods, , Theory and Empirics of Real and Financial Markets, Experimental Economics, Agent-based Macro Models and Computational Economics.

The research work of each student is followed by a “thesis committee” – including the main supervisor – composed by scholars both internal and external to the School.

Ph.D students are expected to complete a dissertation, written in English, entailing original work of standard adequate to publication on refereed international journals.
