CERGE-EI Students at Meeting of Nobel Laureates

April 17, 2014

CERGE-EI has been invited to nominate two students for the Meeting of the Winners of the Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Science in Memory of Alfred Nobel in Lindau, Germany, which will be held from August 19-23, 2014. It is a great privilege for CERGE-EI to appoint student representatives to such a prominent event. Our nominees are Martin Kuncl and Volha Audzei. 

Martin, a CERGE-EI PhD student, has already achieved success and recognition in the field of economics. He won the 2013 Young Economist of the Year – an annual competition organized by the Czech Economic Society which seeks to identify and award the most talented students of economics. 

Volha, also one of our PhD students, has already started the process of submitting her papers to prestigious economic journals, such as the Journal of Monetary Economics and the Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control. She was given the highest possible rank in our internal evaluation of Junior EI Researchers two years in a row. She has actively participated in a bilateral research project with Goethe University in Frankfurt, Germany, on the macro model database. 

5th Lindau Meeting on Economic Sciences

The 5th Lindau Meeting on Economic Sciences will provide an open exchange of economic expertise and inspire cross-cultural and inter-generational encounters among economists from all over the world. The world economic and financial crisis will surely be a central theme between the Laureates and the young participants, but most likely the global central banking system or challenges to international free trade will also be main topics.
