Aims and Objectives

The Doctorate in Economics and Innovation Management (DEGIN) programme has as its main objective the training of qualified personnel in Economics and Innovation Management, thus contributing to the development of research on issues related to technological innovation from an economic and business perspective. Technological innovation occupies an eminent place among the factors related to economic growth and competitiveness, and this is confirmed by the importance that governments and international organizations confer on it as a strategic variable in economic development.

DEGIN offers the development of research in an area of growing influence and in contact with research teams from other countries. Students will have access to the national and international networks in which the research groups involved in the Programme participate, which translates into the possibility of presenting research advances at international conferences and publishing in indexed journals, as well as the possibility of obtaining the European Doctorate degree.

The DEGIN programme has been awarded the Mention towards Excellence by the Ministry of Education, making it an international benchmark.
