The doctoral program "European Ph.D in Socio-Economics and Statistical Studies" (SESS.EuroPhD) is a multidisciplinary study program founded by a consortium of universities from five European Union member states (Humboldt University of Berlin, Loránd Eötvös University of Budapest, Masaryk University Brno, Sapienza University of Rome, and University of Tampere) and two non-EU states (University of Haifa and University of Southampton). The Ph.D. program promotes the use of the scientific method in analyzing the relationships between economic, social, and demographic phenomena, with the ultimate goal of contributing to the advancement of the international scientific debate and designing economic and social policies that support social cohesion, equality, growth, and the well-being of today's population and future generations. This is particularly relevant in addressing challenges posed by globalization, technological development, and adverse shocks (such as the COVID-19 pandemic and recent international conflicts). The research conducted by Ph.D. candidates and faculty members in the Ph.D. board primarily takes place, but not exclusively, in the disciplinary fields of Political Economy, Economic Policy, Public Economics, and Applied Economics, always with an interdisciplinary approach. They utilize methodologies from Experimental Economics and Econometrics. At the “aggregate” level, SESS.EuroPhD aims to: 1. Develop interdisciplinary research through a common and coordinated educational strategy among the consortium universities. 2. Encourage comparative research following the outlined guidelines. 3. Promote in the consortium member countries a Ph.D. culture similar to the Anglo-Saxon one, while preserving the specificities of local cultural traditions. 4. Contribute to the design of economic and social policies aimed at improving social cohesion, intra and intergenerational equality, economic growth, and the well-being of the current and future populations. At the "individual" level, our training program aims to shape a professional figure with research autonomy and high organizational skills. SESS.EuroPhD candidates and graduates are capable of critically and methodologically rigorously analyzing ongoing economic, institutional, social, and political transformations in Europe and the world. They can assess the effects of economic and social policies and develop increasingly effective measures. The faculty within the Ph.D. board has a strong international characterization, with nine of its twenty-three members exclusively affiliated with international institutions. Specifically, these institutions include the University of Southern California, University of Arizona (US), Universitat Passau (Germany), Université Côte d'Azur, Université de Lille, Université de Strasbourg, ESSEC Business School and Burgundy School of Business (France), and the University of Luxembourg.
