Strengthening Efficiency and Competitiveness in the European Knowledge Economies (SEEK)
- ZEW President Prof. Dr. Clemens Fuest
The Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW) welcomes the submission of project proposals for its research programme "Strengthening Efficiency and Competitiveness in the European Knowledge Economies" (SEEK). The programme seeks to bolster international cooperation between researchers of all economic disciplines.
The state of Baden-Württemberg is financing a landmark project at ZEW in Mannheim to strengthen the economic top level research.
Background
The EU 2020 strategy emphasizes that growth should be smart, sustainable, and inclusive. Smart growth means developing economies based on knowledge and innovations. These priorities pose significant challenges for politicians and academia. The SEEK programme aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of policy rationales, the design of appropriate policy instruments as well as their effectiveness and efficiency.
