Alan Brown on CERGE-EI
“Every year I visit CERGE-EI in Prague and meet the students. Seeing these talented and committed young men and women investing hard in their education is an inspiration. They work to the highest of standards and they come from countries often desperately in need of well trained economists. The influence these well-trained graduates then bring to their home countries' economic futures cannot be underestimated.”
