European Doctorate In Economics Erasmus Mundus (Edeem)
The European Doctorate in Economics - Erasmus Mundus (EDEEM) is a doctoral program that gathers 7 leading European institutions, joined to offer a three-year doctoral program:
Universiteit Van Amsterdam (Netherlands)
Universität Bielefeld (Germany),
Universidade Nova de Lisboa (Portugal),
Université Catholique de Louvain (Belgium)
Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales (France)
Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne (France)
Università Ca' Foscari Venezia (Italy)
EDEEM is a research-oriented program and aims to produce top-quality researchers, who will gain international experience working within the research units with some of Europe's leading researchers in economics.
Students are trained for positions in academia at the international level as well as for responsible positions in government, research organizations, and business enterprises.
High focus is made on research work, publication and presentation, with dedicated Jamborees and Summer Schools being an integral part of the training.
The EDEEM Program welcomes around 15 students each year. Admission is based on excellence in previous Master Degree studies or equivalent. This degree does not have to be in economics, although interest in economics is certainly desirable and a strong background in mathematics will be helpful together with fluent written and spoken English. The program is organised in three years.
All PhD students are jointly supervised by two advisers through a co-tutelle agreement between two universities of the consortium. The student must spend at least two semesters in each of the two degree-granting universities. A single defense in one of the two universities is organized.
