There is no course fee, but participants travelling to Oslo have to cover travel/accommodation individually. 

Examination

A term paper of 6 000 to 8 000 words is required in addition to active participation during the lectures.

Deadline: 30 September 2025.

Important information for the participants: The course will be divided in two parts: (1) Innovation and well-being; (2) Innovation, inequality and social welfare. Participants who like to take the exam and get the credits for their PhD program must attend both parts of the course and submit a term paper. On the other hand, participants who do not wish to take the exam are welcome to attend only the part of the course of their interest.

Please contact Professor Fulvio Castellacci for academic questions about the course, and Lara Kristiansen for administrative questions.

Physical attendance in Oslo is encouraged; but digital participation is also possible. Interested participants that will not take the exam should please inform whether they will attend only part I (well-being), only part II (social welfare), or both parts of the course.
