Objectives
The school offers doctoral students a broad choice of advanced courses in various fields of economics.
The objective is twofold: confronting students with the latest developments in their own field of research and exposing them to recent developments in at least one other field of research.
The choice of courses is enlarged thanks to a collaboration with the University of Brussels (ULB), the University of Namur (FUNDP) and the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven.
Beyond courses, that collaboration also opens the possibility of joint supervisions of thesis and the organisation of a yearly meeting of doctoral students from the three institutions.
