Welcome on our website

 

In our group about 20 people are working in research and teaching, energetically supported by our office personnell.

The focus of our work is on the economic analysis of policy measures in the agri-food area, its scientific foundations and on quantitative policy impact assessment.

We collaborate in numerous projects within international research networks, and offer our students and young researchers an internationally oriented teaching and research environment, also visible from the fields of work of former staff.
