Facilities and Services
Located at Politických vězňů 7, one block from Wenceslas Square in the heart of historic Prague, the CERGE-EI building, the House of the Angel, is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year allowing intellectual activity late into the evening and on weekends.
Library
Our library was established in 1992 through the generous support of the Austrian government and the Westinghouse Education Foundation. It is state of the art, containing the most extensive and up-to-date economics collection in Central and Eastern Europe, with about 40,000 monographs, as well as subscriptions to more than 300 periodicals, 600 e-journals and access to several library consortiums.
As a result, the library houses a rich collection of contemporary economic literature focused on trans-national economics. As part of CERGE-EI’s outreach mission, it is open to the general public as well as to students, faculty, and researchers from other institutions. The library is equipped with the latest computer technology, offers access to widely used data-bases and statistical materials, and is an official depository library of World Bank and UNCTAD documents. Access to materials not in the library is provided through cooperation with other libraries around the world.
Computer Facilities
The Computer Department staff oversees CERGE-EI's LAN network based on both UNIX and Windows platforms. Facilities include a UNIX lab with high-speed workstations, and a PC lab containing state-of-the art computers. The whole building is covered by wifi which in turn is connected to a high-speed trunk line. Most major software packages and the statistical software required for modern economic research are supported, as well as the latest version of word processing and spreadsheet programs. Email addresses are created for all students, faculty, and researchers. Special arrangements can be made for those requiring specialized computational support, including supercomputer access.
