Construction of Digital Media Center at CERGE-EI to Commence this Spring

27 April, 2017

We are delighted to announce the imminent launch of our project to establish a Digital Media Center at CERGE-EI. The center will incorporate a new 80-seat lecture theater and studio, both equipped with the latest audiovisual technology. The facility will be available for live-streaming lectures and seminars to multiple partner institutions across the region and for CERGE-EI faculty and students to hold virtual meetings with overseas supervisors, research partners and colleagues around the world.

This exciting project, jointly funded by the Czech Academy of Sciences, USAID, and Charles University, will reinforce CERGE-EI's reputation as a center of excellence in economics by enhancing our collaboration channels for research and allowing us to deliver modern economics teaching to a wider audience. Construction will begin in late spring of 2017 and we expect to begin operation in early 2018.
