The focus of the Doctoral Programme lies on mathematical and computational techniques and their use in modeling systems in economics and management.
The aim of the programme is to enable participants to conduct research in the above-mentioned fields on a level equivalent to articles in good international refereed journals in business and economics.
Christian Wankmüller, junior scientist at the Department of Production, Energy and Environmental Management, has been awarded the State Price for his PhD project on the assessment of efficiency loss in humanitarian logistics in December 2018.
Researchers from Venice and Klagenfurt came together for a joint workshop within the scope of the recently initiated doctoral degree program.
The fourth “Venice-Klagenfurt Workshop” took place from the 15th to the 16th of December 2016: Young academics studying under Paolo Pellizzari and Marco Tolotti from the University Ca’ Foscari as well as students supervised by Reinhard Neck, Gerald Reiner, Paul Schweinzer and Friederike Wall (University of Klagenfurt) introduced and discussed their projects. The event was organized as part of the doctoral degree program “Modeling, Simulation, Optimization in Business and Economics”.
The doctoral students enrolled in this program are working on the further development and application of mathematical and computer-aided methods in order to facilitate the comprehension and – if possible – the improved configuration of complex correlations in business and management.
This represented the first occasion on which the workshop was held within the scope of the doctoral degree program, thus allowing for an expansion, both of the AAU professorships involved, and of the thematic focus. The previous three iterations of the workshop focused on the Department of Controlling and Strategic Management, in terms of AAU participation (including, on one occasion, representatives of the Department of Networked and Embedded Systems). The only topic addressed so far had consisted of agent-based simulation. Starting in 2011, the workshops were hosted in Klagenfurt and Venice, alternately. The next workshop – to be held once again within the scope of the doctoral degree program – is expected to take place in Venice in 2017.
