The Directorate-General for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs’ yearly fellowship programme addresses top economists/academics of recognised reputation. Their expert economic advice will support the Directorate-General in its analysis and policy making.
The type of expertise sought covers a broad range of fields spreading across industrial, trade and innovation policy, as well as policies related to market integration and, more generally, mission-oriented policy design. New and emerging issues with high relevance for the single market and EU industry are covered as well, for example
- strategic autonomy
- supply chain distress
- future-proofing skills
- impact investments and alternative business models
- purposeful innovation
- the industrial ecosystem approach
Based on a call for expression of interest running until mid-2026, this 4-year programme includes yearly cycles of evaluation of proposals and an evolving list of candidates in view of yearly appointments.
