The Department of Economics and Business of University of Catania proposes a four-year PhD programme in Economics, Management and Decision Making which aims to be a point of reference, with international appeal for postgraduate training in the disciplines of economics and business, attracting participants with a high motivation for theoretical and applied research.

The main (but not necessarily exclusive) themes of the PhD programme are:

• innovation and sustainability;
• institutions, markets and economic development;
• decision analysis, decision theory and data science.

In order to stimulate and enhance the multidisciplinary approach to scientific research, the specialized courses provided at Department of Economics and Business will have an expressly interdisciplinary slant, including the profiles of the legal regulation and the regulatory foundations of the institutions.

By means of agreements with other foreign universities and visiting programmes, PhD students will be required to spend at least one academic year at an internationally renowned university abroad (in the second or third year of their training).

The call for applications is now open.
