4 Co3 Co4 Co5 Co6 Co7 The emotional aspects of economic and social decision making (using behavioural economics experiments Political campaigning governance of renewable natural resources in developing countries Global Value Chain cluster around themes related to Europe s advance manufacturing sector and long term growth, such as (1) low productivity growth in the EU; (2) the impact of technological change and innovation on new sectors and competitiveness (3) what the skills are necessary to match technological change and how can economies create jobs to secure high standard of living and (4) what processes and systems are adopted in selected manufacturing sectors to embed socio-economic-environmental sustainable management practices. Interested candidates must have a background in industrial economics, business studies, economic geography, environmental economics and innovation.
