Economic Fitness & Complexity - Summer School 2025

A six-day summer school on economic fitness and complexity for PhD students, early career researchers, and practitioners Organised by Enrico Fermi Research Centre (CREF, Rome), UNU-MERIT (Maastricht), UNU-CRIS (Bruges) and the Young Scholar Initiative (YSI-INET).

The first three days of the school will focus on theoretical and practical classes covering the following topics: economic complexity measurement, network theory, machine learning, measurement of relatedness. Theoretical lectures will be followed by coding labs, where participants will apply the methodologies introduced in class to carry on assigned group projects. 

In the last day of the school, world-wide renowned scholars have been invited to present their frontier research, linking economic complexity with economic development, economic geography, labour economics, sustainability, economics of science, and innovation policy. At the end of the school, students will also get a chance to present their group projects, and to get feedback on them.
