“My research topic is "Remittances in Armenia", therefore I decided to apply for the research internship program carried out by the Central Bank of Armenia. The comprehensive knowledge acquired by studying under world-renowned professors, along with the history of excellence of CERGE-EI, helped me stand out from other applicants and secure the above internship.”

“Master in Economic Research at CERGE-EI fuses together two highly valuable elements: in-depth training in mathematics and econometrics, and exposure to the frontier of scientific knowledge
in economics. This, alongside plentiful opportunities to get hands-on experience with research, makes CERGE-EI an ideal place to begin one’s journey as an academic economist.”
