Aims

Doctoral programme Tourism and Leisure in Mountain Regions (TLMR) researchers try to understand how tourism and leisure interrelates and impacts major stakeholders groups. Therefore, the DP TLMR aims at supporting our PhD students with excellent training and education in a dynamic interdisciplinary environment. By providing the opportunities and platforms to delve into other disciplines students can broaden their knowledge and their expertise in their respective research area. Furthermore, the doctoral programme actively enables all members to initiate, develop and publish high-quality and innovative research in tourism and leisure. Intensified exchange of knowledge between senior researcher and PhD students will help to address tourism and leisure issues and increase the quality and quantity of tourism and leisure research at the University of Innsbruck.

The development of tourism and leisure in mountain regions can only be explored and understood in their holistic nature by integrating various scientific disciplines. The DP TLMR will bundle this large variety of disciplines to foster knowledge exchange and transfer.
