Exchange Programmes

The Department of Economics offers PhD researchers the opportunity to participate in various Exchange Programmes

THE US EXCHANGE PROGRAMME

The goal of the study period abroad for researchers is to pursue and reinforce their research in preparation for the doctoral thesis and widen their networks.

EUI researchers are eligible to participate in the exchange, subject to the support of the faculty supervisor and departmental recommendation, during the 2nd or 3rd year of the doctoral programme at the EUI.

Visits during the 4th year usually are not recommended but are not excluded if supported by the supervisor.

Submit your application to Martina Zucca by 5 December of the current academic year

For more details about the Universities:

Programme: EUI-US Exchange Programme

Up to four EUI researchers (usually one researcher per department) may attend New York University (NYU) per academic year. Researchers benefit from non-degree visiting student status.

EUI researchers in the 2nd or 3rd year of the doctoral programme are eligible to participate in the exchange, subject to the support of their faculty supervisor and departmental recommendation.

Duration is normally 4 months either in:

  • Fall: September to December

  • Spring: mid-January to mid-May

  • Summer: end-May to mid-August

Funding:

€4000 (lump sum) contributed by EUI towards defraying living costs

 

 

Application Procedure:

The application procedure for the exchange programmes is divided into two separate and distinct phases.

Phase 1 - Application to the ECO Department and the EUI

Researchers should submit their application to the ECO Department by 5 December 2022.

The application should include:

  • Letter of support from the faculty supervisor

  • Curriculum Vitae

  • Two to three-page statement of intent ("work plan") summarizing proposed activity and indicating preferred period and length of stay

The Department will review all applications in its December departmental meeting and approved applications will then be sent to the Academic Service by the Institutional deadline of 11 January 2023.

All applications from all departments will then be reviewed by the Entrance Board during January. Reseachers will be informed of the Institute's decision accordingly.


Phase 2 - Application to NYU

Successful applicants then have to apply to NYU. The relevant forms are available from Academic Service. NYU has two submission deadlines: 01 March (for the Fall semester) and 15 September (for the Spring Semester).
