Programme Director
In this programme we train professionals who are successful problem solvers and are able to provide answers to social, economic and ecological challenges of our complex world. All that is carried out with interdisciplinary approach, as the programme combines the theoretical and practical knowledge of economic sciences, psychology and methodological skills. In the practice-oriented programme, we put great emphasis on competence development and community building, and prepare our students for science-based problem management, cooperation, flexible adaptation to change and critical thinking. Our main objective is to train experts who are able to reflect on not only the social, ecological and individual impacts of science and technology, but are suitable for responsible and ethical leading positions too.
