Students From 17 Countries Taking Part in the Online "Prep"

This year’s Preparatory semester started on July 13, with 32 participants from 17 countries worldwide. Most of them had to join us online, but the distance and challenges of the virtual learning environment have not deterred them from working hard and join us for the Fall semester, hopefully already in person.

Congratulations to Our New MAE Graduates!

On Thursday, 23 July 2020, the Graduation Ceremony of the Master in Applied Economics (MAE) program took place, during which the six students were presented diplomas.
