To improve doctoral education in the field of QAAPS, as well as to make the competence of the MACE research group in the field of institutional theory accessible nationally and internationally to young scholars, the project will organize and annually run a joint PhD course on new streams of institutional theory, as well as a PhD colloquium within the international scholarly network dealing with Comparative International Government Accounting Research (CIGAR). These activities will together strengthen the capacity to develop and execute high-quality scientific projects in collaboration with members of international research networks and, in this sense, improve MACE visibility among the internationally recognized scholarly community.
