Teaching Fellows Training Starts
We are excited to be kicking off the new academic year with our largest cohort of new graduate Teaching Fellows ever! The new Fellows will be teaching Economics at universities in 19 countries in the Central/Eastern European region.
The courses they teach 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 cutting-edge 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 carry the CERGE-EI Teaching Fellows standard of excellence in Economics Education to their home countries!

Career Integration Fellows Training Starts
CERGE-EI Career Integration Fellows
Teaching Principles and Practices for Economics Course
August 11-15, 2014 at CERGE-EI
This year’s newly expanded cohort of Career Integration Fellows will attend our first annual course for recent PhDs with degrees from Western universities. These Fellows are heading to the CEE region to contribute their cutting-edge knowledge of Economics and fresh, effective teaching techniques to Economics education. Their modern approach and knowledge is needed and appreciated!
The course offers Fellows opportunities to learn more about the program and the resources CERGE-EI offers them. Fellows will also contribute to discussions on a range of vital topics, including comparisons of teaching in the west and east, 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 starting this year in response to the outstanding reviews it has received from institutions and students in past years. Each Fellow is truly important in Economics education, and will leave positive footprints that will influence the region for years to come!
