Following a long period of cooperation in the field of Economics, the Universities of Florence, Pisa and Siena, announce a new joint regional PhD program, with 10 three years scholarship, supported by Regione Toscana.

The Doctorate courses will provide students the knowledge, analytical skills and capabilities to conduct their research at the frontier of economics. Our program gives emphasis to economic history and the history of economic thought, and recognizes the importance of exposing students to different theoretical perspectives.

First year courses will mainly be held at the University of Siena, where students are welcome to apply for accommodation facilities. In the following years students will rely on the academic environment and facilities in one of the three universities, according to their research interests.
