News

Researchers from Venice and Klagenfurt came together for a joint workshop within the scope of the recently initiated doctoral degree program.

The fourth “Venice-Klagenfurt Workshop” took place from the 15th to the 16th of December 2016: Young academics studying under Paolo Pellizzari and Marco Tolotti from the University Ca’ Foscari as well as students supervised by Reinhard Neck, Gerald Reiner, Paul Schweinzer and Friederike Wall (AAU) introduced and discussed their projects. The event was organized as part of the doctoral degree program “Modeling, Simulation, Optimization in Business and Economics”.

The doctoral students enrolled in this program are working on the further development and application of mathematical and computer-aided methods in order to facilitate the comprehension and – if possible – the improved configuration of complex correlations in business and management.

This represented the first occasion on which the workshop was held within the scope of the doctoral degree program, thus allowing for an expansion, both of the AAU professorships involved, and of the thematic focus. The previous three iterations of the workshop focused on the Department of Controlling and Strategic Management, in terms of AAU participation (including, on one occasion, representatives of the Department of Networked and Embedded Systems). The only topic addressed so far had consisted of agent-based simulation. Starting in 2011, the workshops were hosted in Klagenfurt and Venice, alternately. The next workshop – to be held once again within the scope of the doctoral degree program – is expected to take place in Venice in 2017.

Research areas

  • agent-based modelling and simulation
  • applications to operations management
  • complex systems and business complexity
  • decision-making in complex environments
  • econometrics
  • economic policy
  • game theory
  • logistics
  • management control systems
  • macroeconomics
  • microeconomics
  • static and dynamic optimization

Research perspectives

  • learning to use mathematical and computational methods to produce new results for decisions on the level of the firm or a government agency;

Admission procedure

For the admission to the doctoral programme the current curriculum for doctoral studies of Alpen-Adria-Universität Klagenfurt has to be taken into account. Potential candidates are invited to apply by informal letter/email, including a CV with a list of courses taken so far and a description of the intended topic(s) of research (exposé of at least two pages). Entry from previous doctoral studies is always possible. Promising candidates may be invited for an interview. The decision about an application will be made by consensus of the professors teaching and supervising in the programme.

Deadlines

There are no formal deadlines. Applications can be filed any time. The first round of the programme will start on October 1, 2016. Joining later will be possible after consultation with members of the teaching staff.

Graduation requirements

The current curriculum requires doctoral students to obtain between 24 and 80 ECTS in courses (and publications, conference presentations, etc.) during a period of 6 semesters (3 years) in addition to their doctoral thesis. The specific course program is developed with the supervisor.
