The 2024 Alumni Give Back Campaign, which began last December, has successfully finished with more than 13,000 USD collected. As in previous years, proceeds from the campaign will be used to financially support current CERGE-EI students, so that they can fully focus on their studies and professional growth.
In the latest episode of Talking Economics, we sat down with Ctirad Slavík, an Associate Professor with tenure at CERGE-EI, to discuss his research on taxation, the organization of knowledge and production, and the broader economic implications of policy reforms.
In the Fall 2024, the Economics Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences, in partnership with the CERGE-EI Foundation, expanded the Distance Learning Program into a new project co-financed by Visegrad+ Grants from the International Visegrad Fund.
