Congratulations to our Alumni Excellence Fellowship Recipient

29 November, 2021

We are proud to announce the recipient of the Alumni Excellence Fellowship for 2021/2022: Jiří Grosman. Thanks to CERGE-EI’s Alumni and the Board of Nadace CERGE-EI for sponsoring this award and for their support. Our alumni fundraising call has raised three Alumni Excellence Fellowships since its establishment in 2019. 

"Our alumni are always part of CERGE-EI’s story,” said CERGE-EI’s director Sergey Slobodyan. “We stand taller with your successes. We are glad to see you come back to our building. We teach the next generations of students who may interact with you or become your future colleagues. We are always grateful for the support you give to those who come in after you. The Giving Back campaign is an opportunity to remember what CERGE-EI means for your lives and careers, and what you could do to help others who are just beginning their path."

Jiří Grosman, this year's winner, is a first-year Master's in Economic Research student and holds a Bachelor of Science from University College London.

The Alumni Excellence Fellowships are for newly enrolled students ranked as the very best by the Admission Committee and remain among the top quarter of their first-year cohort based on their cumulative GPA ranking. It can also be awarded to second-year students who pass their complete first-year general exams with a Ph.D. and rank among the top three students of their study cohort.
