We look forward to meeting the 2016/17 cohort of new Graduate Teaching Fellows as we gather in Prague to prepare for the new academic year.

The new Fellows will be teaching Economics across the Central/Eastern European region. Their courses are targeted primarily at first and second year students of Economics, and are aimed to provide new levels of excellence in both content and delivery.

The Teaching Principles and Practices course provides opportunities for Fellows to practice and discuss fresh, effective teaching methods, and to collaborate with established Fellows and Economics Faculty members on content and delivery. Another focus is to build ongoing connections between Fellows and CERGE-EI and other participating institutions.

Past evaluations by students and institutions indicate that CERGE-EI Teaching Fellows bring positive change and modernization to Economics education in the region.  We’re sure that this year’s cohort will continue the tradition, and will uphold the CERGE-EI Teaching Fellows standard of excellence in Economics Education in their home countries!

We welcome this year's new cohort of Career Integration Fellows! These recent PhD graduates with degrees from Western universities are aiming to contribute their much-needed cutting-edge knowledge and fresh, effective teaching techniques to Economics education in the CEE and fSU regions. Their modern approach and knowledge is greatly needed and much appreciated.

The course offers Fellows opportunities to learn more about the program and resources offered by CERGE-EI. Fellows will also contribute to discussions on a range of important topics, including comparisons of teaching in the west and the CEE, and teaching in an internet world. There will also be a focus on building and maintaining connections between Fellows, CERGE-EI, and the Teaching Fellows community.

The program’s funding has been substantially expanded again this year in response to the outstanding reviews it has received from institutions and students in past years. Each Fellow is truly important to Economics education, and will leave positive footprints that will influence the region for years to come!
