Ten of these Associated Partners are academic institutions with a solid scientific and research background in economics and related multi-crossing disciplines. Six Associated Partners are companies from the public and private sectors supporting the Consortium.
The QEM is a 24-month, 120 ECTS, full-time research orientation master’s program for practical applications of advanced methodologies and models in economics, with science courses taught in English, Culture and local language courses, and mobility between two or three Universities across Europe.
