Now in their sixth year, the INOMICS Awards remain unique in their celebration of institutions committed to the career development of economists worldwide.

Based on aggregating the total interest in offers publicized on INOMICS during the previous year (see methodology) winners were chosen across 7 different categories. In each category, we identify the Top 3 institutions as well as those in the Top 20, listed in no particular order. 

The awards (past awards) hope to acknowledge the universities, research centers, economics schools, banks, think tanks, and government and private institutions which listed their career and study opportunities on INOMICS in 2021, and were the most popular among our users.

The full list of award winners can be found in the INOMICS Handbook 2022, alongside expert career advice from economics professors and a fascinating interview with economic historian Adam Tooze, who offers his wisdom on the economics landscape. Download the INOMICS Handbook for free.
