International Doctoral School on the SDGs

A consortium consisting of 45 academic and doctoral schools from 30 countries in the Global South

with the Italian partner and convener (CeSPI ETS)

and three linked PhD Programs offering a wide variety of research themes, related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), on:

• International Relations, Political and Social Sciences (Rome Tre University)
• Engineering, Energetics and Sustainability (CIRPS, Interuniversity Research Centre for Sustainable Development)
• Economics & Statistics (Salerno University)

A challenging international initiative with PHD candidates granted with research scholarships of 9 months with individual mentoring.

A very simple idea.

A network to link several academic graduate and PhD programs that already exist in (for now) 30  African, Asian and Latina American countries.

Just a South-South connection through which important research fields, relevant to the SDGs agenda, are in-depth studied in an international dialogue, exchanging ideas and results. A practical way to develop a community of young researchers, a process of mutual learning by straightening links among them.

A enormous potential for partnership.

A network connecting relevant partners from Asia, Africa and Latin America. The spirit of a joint doctoral school, a concrete support to qualified researchers, but also an extraordinary potential to strengthen international links and to create bridges that can be valuable in implementing new joint research-actions projects related to specific SDGs.

The Doctoral School is affiliated with the e-Journal of Economics and Complexity, where the PhD candidates will publish their final research and other contributions from network partners.
