Research

C SET conducts research on questions in the field of security economics. Our research contributes to offsetting the current lacuna in this domain in German-speaking countries and addresses issues of particular importance to Europe.

In close cooperation with professors and HSG-institutes representing a range of disciplines, senior research fellows as well as doctoral candidates conduct basic research on a variety of topics. Our aim is to achieve a maximum of synergy between basic and applied research and to make this expertise available via our scientific consulting activities.
