Advanced Studies Program
The Advanced Studies Program in International Economic Policy Research is a 10-months program aimed at young graduates in economics and at economists with several years of professional experience, who are seeking a career in international organizations, in economic policy making and management, or in academic institutions and think thanks. Internationally respected experts teach their area of specialization in intensive courses usually lasting one or two weeks, supplemented by seminars on current economic policy issues.

The topics covered in the Summer School are closely linked to the work of the Kiel Institute research teams and organized in conjunction with them. The Summer School has generated considerable interest in many countries; on average, there are around 70 applications each year for the 25 available spaces.
