Objectives

Exploit the existing complementarities between the research themes at CORE and ECARES. Combining theoretical expertise and more applied research, makes ECORE a privileged partner.

Foster teaching and research by developing a common doctoral school, offering a wide variety of fundamental and topical courses. This gives ECORE a large advantage, in an international environment, that is becoming increasingly competitive. ECORE is meant to maintain this recognized expertise in Belgium, to encourage its development by the young generation and to open its availability and usefulness to a larger set of decision-makers.

Intensify collaborations and common projects with Belgian and European universities, including research programs and doctoral training.

Increase interactions with partners from the private and from the public sector:

ECORE can offer to economic and political actors their research and teaching expertise.
ECORE can undertake research projects that are of interest to those actors.

Higher education is also affected by the process of globalization. Dutch universities were among the first to feel the need to merge some of their activities. In Barcelona two prestigious universities followed the same path a few years ago. More recently, the European University Institute in Florence launched the largest EU post-doctoral program in the social sciences offering 100 fellowships to graduate students in economics, law, history, political science and sociology who want to embark on an academic career, improve their teaching and professional skills. End of 2005, the French government launched the École dÉconomie de Paris. ECORE will now also be able to compete.
