By submitting your application for the PhD program at the DIW Graduate Center, you agree that DIW Berlin may forward your data to the Berlin School of Economics. This serves the purpose of organizing joint interviews so that resources for the applicants and institutions can be pooled. You can object to the transfer of your data at any time by sending an e-mail to gradcenter@diw.de.

Participation in the selection procedure requires the collection of personal data. For this purpose, the data and documents you submit are stored in electronic form at DIW Berlin. It will be deleted two months after the end of the application process.
