On November 20-22, the Department of Economics hosted the first PLUS Econ workshop, a forum for presenting and discussing current research in text analysis, survey experiments, and human-algorithm interactions related to policy making in the EU. Presentations by international researchers from the Ifo Institute, U Bocconi, U Cambridge, U Tor Vergata of Rome, and U Ulm made this workshop a great success!

CIVIS is a European Civic University formed by the alliance of 11 leading research higher education institutions across Europe. CIVIS aims to create a truly unique European interuniversity campus where students, academics, researchers and staff will move and collaborate as freely as within their institution of origin. We will develop a deep level of European integration, involving joint learning pathways, development of complementary research facilities and diverse degree pathways.

At the PLUS – the Paris Lodron University of Salzburg – we see studying not only as education, and as preparation not only for a career, but also for life. The PLUS offers numerous Master‘s degree programmes. 35% are taught in English.
