ACROSS is a doctoral training unit (DTU) funded by the Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR) and coordinated by LISER’s Research Programme on Crossing Borders. 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.

 

The consortium places a strong emphasis on fostering connections between institutions and building a distinguished supervision team focused on cross-border mobility. 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.
