GK-EIC - IMPRS Summer School 2010 (IMPReSS 2010)

The fourth GK - IMPRS Summer School (IMPReSS 2010) is scheduled from July 25th until August 20th, 2010 at Bachstraße 18 as well as at the Max Planck Institute of Economics, Jena.

From July 25th until August 8th 2010, the 4th Jena Summer Academy on "Innovation and Uncertainty" will be jointly hosted by the DFG Research Training Group "The Economics of Innovative Change" (GK-EIC) and the International Max Planck Research School on Adapting Behavior in a Fundamentally Uncertain World (IMPRS). The focus of this year's edition will again lie on foundations of (innovative) behavior, entrepreneurship, the generation of innovations and their diffusion, the change of regional and sectoral structures caused by innovations, the role of the demand side in this context, as well as the political management of change.

Just like in the last three years, the IMPRS Summer School will continue in the second and the third week of August to cover a number of specific topics related to how subjects behave under fundamental uncertainty. The IMPRS Uncertainty Summer School aims at stimulating the scientific discourse on decision making under uncertainty between economists, psychologists and legal scholars.
