We are looking for students with strong academic backgrounds and intellectual curiosity.

The Department of Management, Strategy and Innovation (MSI) of the Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB)
of the KU Leuven is a leading international multidisciplinary research group. Research centers on the
organization of institutions, firms, industries and markets in an international context, with a particular focus on
innovation and corporate renewal. The department includes faculty members across the three campuses of the
FEB located in Leuven, Brussels and Antwerp, and also hosts the expertise center on R&D monitoring, ECOOM.
The department currently has about 30 faculty members, 25 PhD students and 10 postdocs.
MSI organizes a thriving internationally oriented PhD program. The 4-year MSI PhD trajectory is embedded in
the broader PhD program in Business Economics. In their first two years, PhD students follow foundational
courses within the main MSI research areas, courses on empirical methods and a few electives of their interest
(60 ECTS).
Over the course of these four years, you conduct research under the supervision of faculty members
and assist in some teaching activities of the MSI department. A typical student is expected to participate in
international research conferences and to spend some time abroad as a visiting PhD student.

insurance. MSI PhD graduates are held in high esteem not only in academia and research institutions but also in
government and business where their research qualifications are increasingly demanded.
