Early Stage Career Researchers
IHS provides training opportunities for junior researchers in the fields of economics and social sciences. Students and doctoral candidates engage in research projects while receiving support for their academic qualifications at their universities. This approach is unique within Austria’s scientific community.
At present, the supervision and infrastructure for junior researchers at IHS are undergoing significant revisions. An integrated graduate program is set to be developed and launched starting in 2024, with Director Holger Bonin serving as coordinator and primary contact person.
Doctoral College
The Doctoral College supports early-career scientists (Junior Researchers) working at the institute. These Junior Researchers come from various fields of economic and social research and are expected to pursue a PhD at university while being fully involved in research projects at IHS.
In addition to having a university supervisor, each Junior Researcher is guided by a mentor at IHS. These mentors are experienced researchers committed to supporting their mentees' dissertation projects.
IHS cooperations with doctoral schools and international training networks:
Post-Crisis Legitimacy of the European Union (PLATO)
PLATO is a European Training Network that supports 15 PhD candidates from leading research institutions and universities, funded through the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions program.
