Meyer-Struckmann Scholarship for Scholars from Eastern and Southern Europe
The Meyer-Struckmann Scholarship is intended for an economist from Eastern or Southern Europe who is no longer at the very beginning of their academic career but has already reached an advanced stage. The scholarship will commence in April 2025 and will last for two years. It will enable the recipient to join DICE and establish a research collaboration in one of DICE's areas of research. The scholar will receive a monthly grant of EUR 3,500 from the Meyer-Struckmann Foundation and will be provided with a workspace at DICE and access to the infrastructure necessary. Background DICE is Germany's leading academic centre for competition economics. In Europe, it ranks among the top three institutions in the field, alongside Toulouse (Toulouse School of Economics) and the Centre for Competition Policy (CCP) at the University of East Anglia. As a result, DICE is a sought-after host for visiting researchers. While researchers from Western Europe and North America typically have access to funding for research stays abroad, this is significantly less the case for scholars from Eastern and Southern Europe. However, there is a strong academic interest in competition policy in these regions—one of the European Union’s most important policy fields—along with the desire to establish academic connections with Western Europe. The scholarship aims to bridge this gap for economists who play a multiplier role in their home countries. Application The selection of the scholar will be made by the DICE Board (www.dice.hhu.de) and the Scholarship Committee of the Faculty of Business and Economics (https://www.wiwi.hhu.de/struktur/kommissionen/stipendienkommission). Please submit your application by 28 February 2025 to Dr Michael Coenen (coenen(at)dice.hhu.de).
In 2025, the Düsseldorf Institute for Competition Economics (DICE, www.dice.hhu.de) will award a scholarship funded by the Meyer-Struckmann Foundation to scholars from Eastern and Southern Europe.

Master in Public and International Economics
The world has always been rich in economic problems and is not poor of them today. But most pressing economic challenges, such as climate change, financial crises, disruptions in commodity markets, and income inequality, bear novel, distinctly transnational characteristics. Addressing them calls for a sound understanding of national and cross-national policymaking and their interlocking, with questions of international policy coordination at its core. The Master's program in Public and International Economics (PIE), run by the Faculty of Business and Economics at TU Dresden, one of the eleven German Excellence Universities, takes exactly that approach. As a graduate, you will be able to tackle economic policy problems in a globalized world using up-to-date empirical and theoretical methods. Outline The structure of the four-semester PIE program is easy to grasp. In the first semester, you acquire foundations in economic theory, econometrics, and academic writing necessary for later analysis, with an apparent concern for hands-on applicability. In the second and third semesters, you have an almost free choice from numerous economic policy topics in an international context. These core elective modules currently include Development Economics, Economics of the Welfare State, Theory of Taxation, International Financial Markets, Exchange Rates, International Public Economics, and Economics of Migration, among others. Several seminars and projects deepen topics, providing close interaction among students and teachers - the best basis for application-oriented learning. The fourth semester concentrates on the Master Thesis, supported by continuous feedback from your supervisor. You are cordially invited to learn more about the details on the website of the program. Career Perspectives With a degree in PIE, you are in demand wherever sound knowledge in and analyses of national and international economic policies are required. Hence, the list of possible employers abounds: from national and international institutions, like public administration, associations, chambers, NGOs or trade unions, via banks, insurance companies, and major companies, generally, to the media. And, of course, an excellent degree paves the way to a doctoral program. Why PIE? There are many good reasons to study the Master in Public and International Economics at TU Dresden. Here are some of them: You receive an education geared at vital future issues preparing you for both the labor market and an academic career. You acquire profound up-to date knowledge in economic methodology and scientific work. You study a program with a decidedly international focus: from the language of instruction to the background of the participants. You enjoy much more discretion in choosing your electives than elsewhere. You encounter a fine supervision ratio with dedicated lecturers. You live in a vibrant town, boasting of classical culture, active student life, charming surroundings, and modest living costs. Requirements and Application PIE explicitly aims at students from all over the world. We are looking forward to accepting your application, provided you dispose of these required qualifications for study: Owning a first university degree in Economics or a related field of study recognized in Germany or a degree from a state or state-recognized university of cooperative education in economics, Proficiency in English according to the level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, Proof of particular aptitude for the program by demonstration of: 35 credit points (ECTS) earned in economics with a good average grade. 15 credit points (ECTS) earned in quantitative methods (Mathematics, Statistics, Econometrics, e.g.). See the website Online Application for more information on the application procedure and learn where to submit what when for proofing your particular aptitude on the website Aptitude Assessment. Note that deadlines and addressees vary depending on your nationality and the places where you obtained your university entrance qualification and your first university degree!
Do you want to understand the pressing economic problems of our time and contribute to resolving them? Do you want to study in an open, international atmosphere? Do you appreciate a fine supervision ratio and close exchange with lecturers? Do you want to live in one of the most beautiful cities in Germany with a great price-performance-ratio?
