PhD Seminars

The UZH's Guest Lecture Series in Marketing and Economics has been designed both to attract world-class academic speakers to the University of Zurich and to offer state-of-the-art skills in marketing and economics to our students. Since 2009, a number of international experts have been incited to reflect on the methodological advancements in marketing and economics. Below, you can read details of all speakers and their lectures to date. All biographical details were correct at the time the lecture took place.

We gratefully acknowledge the generous support of the Zurich Graduate School of Business as the sponsor of the guest lecture series.
