Our research focuses on the interaction of practice and theory and sharing expert knowledge through discussion papers and research seminars.
The Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) is currently funding ten projects at the School of Economics and Political Science (SEPS-HSG) at the University of St.Gallen with a Starting Grant. Find out more about the projects of our researchers.
Our research seminars serve as a platform for the presentation and discussion of current research done in economics and political science. Attendees from across the globe participate at present in our research seminars. The seminars are open to the public and can be attended by anyone who is interested. Please contact us to be placed on our weekly mailing list or if you are interested in becoming a presenter.
Our research is current and demonstrates the expertise of our academic institution. We run numerous research projects and successfully secure funding from national and international institutions such as the Swiss National Science Foundation, the National Centres for Competence in Research, the European Framework Programme for Research and Innovation, and the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation). Our researchers are regularly awarded for their excellent research work, which contributes to the high national and international reputation of HSG, both among academics and practitioners.
