About this position
This PhD position at the Slovak University of Agriculture in Nitra focuses on evaluating the efficiency of land use instruments using economic determinants to promote sustainable development and regional competitiveness in selected regions of the Slovak Republic. The research is situated within the context of the European Green Deal, the EU Soil Strategy for 2030, and climate neutrality targets by 2050, highlighting land use as a pivotal factor for economic stability, environmental resilience, and long-term regional development.
The dissertation will assess the effectiveness of strategic land use management tools in achieving sustainability, productivity, and competitiveness at the NUTS III regional level. The project employs a combination of quantitative and qualitative methodologies, including panel and spatial econometric analysis, public policy evaluation, and comparative analysis of Slovak regions. Special attention is given to the economic impacts of climate adaptation and mitigation measures on land use structures and investment attractiveness.
The research is conceptually linked to the EUROPE-LAND project, providing an interdisciplinary framework for analyzing the synergies between climate policy, biodiversity conservation, and economic development. The anticipated outcome is a model for evaluating the efficiency of strategic land management, with practical applications for public policy and development strategies at both national and European levels.
The position is supervised by Dr. habil. Ing. Ľubica Rumanovská, PhD., at the Institute of European Policies and Public Administration, Faculty of European Studies and Regional Development. The program is open to both full-time and part-time students, with instruction available in Slovak and English. Applicants must have a relevant Master's degree and demonstrate excellent language proficiency in both English and Slovak. The application deadline is June 5, 2026.
