CALL FOR APPLICATIONS – MTech: Comparative Local Development at IERI
Institute for Economic Research on Innovation, Faculty of Economics and Finance
The MTech: Comparative Local Development is an interdisciplinary programme comprising the application of economics, law, sociology and politics to the analysis of local development. The programme seeks a holistic approach to local development and provides an integrated framework for analysis and intervention. The programme is directed primarily towards existing and future practitioners (from the public, private and civil society sectors), and is thus oriented towards direct application and real world impact.

* Be fluent in English and computer literate;
* Submit a written essay of 2500 words on the subject of comparative local development; and
