Events at CERGE-EI

Come to see high school students from 15 different schools presenting their group projects in applied economics and receiving feedback from CERGE-EI researchers and alumni. This evening will complete the third season of the free 12-weeks program.

Reseach topics from which students could choose this year were: Returns to education, Electoral participation among various age groups, Determinants of Health Outcomes, Has communism eradicated the entrepreneurial spirit? and Who will be your next mayor?

Projects in Applied Economics are fully organized and hosted by CERGE-EI, and supported by the Czech Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports. During the program, students get a unique opportunity not only to learn, but also to apply research methods under the supervision of young and well-experienced researchers. They explore selected economics topics using real data, enter an international academic circle, and get feedback on their work as well as suggestions for theirfuture activities. Last, but not least: a special prize is awarded to the group that provides the best research work.
