BiGSEM was established in 2001 by the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics at Bielefeld University in close cooperation with the Center for Mathematical Economics (IMW) as one of the first German programmes offering a structured doctoral programme in Economics. Early in the program students are involved in research activities and encouraged to interact with the international research community.

CUDE is a Research Training Group located at Bielefeld University and funded by the DFG. It consists of ten principal investigators and welcomed its first cohort of doctoral researchers in October 2023. The RTG’s innovation is to explore a new subfield in economic theory that merges two features central to current and future economies: uncertainty and dynamics.
