The PhD degree programme in Business and Territorial Competitiveness, Innovation and Sustainability is set within the “Aristos Campus Mundus 2015” framework. This initiative is the result of the strategic aggregation of three socially oriented universities: the University of Deusto, Comillas Pontifical University and Universitat Ramon Llull.
You will be able to study in depth the various factors affecting the competitiveness of companies and territories. Particular emphasis is placed on innovation as an essential factor for competitiveness and on sustainability as a key element to ensure the well-being of future generations. Therefore, the programme delivers a sound rigorous background in research methodology.
The search for better solutions to organise the competitiveness of companies and territories demands not only financial resources but above all, research and innovation capacities. Furthermore, it calls for proper management of said research and innovation that enables financial resources to be effectively translated as innovations that underpin sustainable competitiveness.
