Shaping the future of cross-border mobility

It brings together fifteen promoters and co-promoters in economics and geography from LISER, the Department of Economics and Management at the University of Luxembourg, and the Research Division of STATEC. ACROSS aims to create a collaborative environment that supports the training of twelve students through systematic PhD supervision.

By establishing this collaborative network, ACROSS seeks to address the complex challenges of cross-border mobility and contribute to informed policymaking in Luxembourg and beyond.
