Course type

The courses are specialized courses for PhD and (selected) MA students, complemented by a trading game and a structured debate among the participants. Participants have the opportunity to present their ongoing research on themes covered during the summer school. Because of the combination of economic and technical topics, the summer school encourages participants to explore multidisciplinary approaches.
