About the center

CORE main objectives are:

The development and dissemination of knowledge at the most advanced level
Around 90 research reports are produced yearly at CORE, aimed at publication in leading peer-reviewed journals. As a result, approximately 1500 articles were published in the last fifteen years , as well as 72 books and monographs.
CORE members have been acting as editors and co-editors of more than 100 journals, and have received numerous scientific distinctions (Lanchester Prize, several Honoris Causa doctorates, two Francqui Prizes, EURO Gold Medal, Francqui Chairs, Alonso Prize in Regional Science, Dantzig Prize, Humboldt Research Prize, Solvay Prize, etc.)
The establishment of a forum for scientific exchange and cooperation at an interuniversity and international level
CORE receives every year more than a hundred visitors, professors, senior and post-doctoral researchers, mostly from abroad, for visits ranging from a few days to a full year. Several one-year grants at the post-doctoral level (CORE fellowships) are offered every year and attributed on an international and competitive basis.
Five weekly research seminars in the fields of Operations Research, Econometrics, Economics and Game Theory allow CORE members and visitors to present their work and share ideas.
The training of young researchers, as well as the diffusion of knowledge in the relevant professional circles, both in the private and the public sectors
About 50 young researchers stay every year at CORE for doctoral research; this has resulted in more than 170 PhD theses supervised by CORE members. CORE is a founding member of the European Doctoral Program in Quantitative Economics, a member of several national and European training programs as well as a frequent organizer of summer schools, lectures series, workshops and conferences.
Finally, many CORE permanent members occasionally offer consulting services on a contractual basis in the areas of their competence, to private firms as well as to national and international public institutions.
