Joint European Master’s degree in Comparative Local Development

The focus of the program falls on local development, specifically considering public, private and non-governmental factors as fundamental agents of change; questions related to social stability and economic prosperity, in conformity with the European standards and best practice. Our general approach is comparative and interdisciplinary. As a multidisciplinary program, CoDe brings together scholars and participants from various fields. Partners of the program believe that the multifaceted challenges of local development necessitate a comprehensive approach and accordingly, involve scholars and experts from the fields of Economics, Social Sciences and Law as well as from other disciplines relevant to local development (e.g. environmental engineering). The course bridges universities, local authorities, firms and other organizations all over the world with its extended partnership.
