The Swiss Leading House on Economics of Education, Firm Behaviour and Training Policies is a joint project under the direction of Prof. Dr. Uschi Backes-Gellner (University of Zurich) and Prof. Dr. Stefan Wolter (University of Bern), financed by the Swiss Federal Office for Professional Education and Technology (OPET).1 The aim of the Leading House is to ensure the long-term development of Swiss research on the economics of vocational education and training. Nine research projects on the economics of vocational education and training, particularly apprenticeship training are currently pursued. A short overview is presented below. The Leading House also includes an advanced study programme for young researchers (PhD students) in the field. The course programme consists of four core courses and a variety of electives. Young economists are offered a wide range of study and research options as they work through the structured doctoral program in the economics of education. The courses are taught by prominent education economists from leading European research universities. Through required courses in microeconomics, business economics, econometrics and institutional settings, doctoral students are introduced to current theories, empirical methods and themes relevant to the economics of education. Doctoral students are also familiarized from the outset with current research projects in the field. This research is carried out within the framework of thematically specialized seminars or literature colloquia in which students discuss seminal and most recent publications with experts in the field of economics of education. Beyond that, students are expected to participate intensively in current research discussions. This is ensured by a regular research colloquium in which guest speakers - but also students or their tutors - present and discuss current research. Finally the development of network activities is part of the Leading House objectives. Research is presented at international scientific conferences as well as on practitioner meetings. Some of these conferences are organised by or in cooperation with the Leading House. Due to the very international composition of the participants of the course programme for doctoral students in economics of education, the course programme itself provides also a great opportunity for young researchers to build a strong network in the field. The following nine topics are currently on our research agenda.
