Year Established: 1991 Legal Status: Independent Unit of Charles University MISSION The Charles University Center for Economic Research and Graduate Education (CERGE) seeks to promote the use of Western standards of economic instruction and research activities in Central and Eastern Europe. PRIMARY RESEARCH INTERESTS • Economics of Transition • European Integration • Banking and Finance • Micro- and Macroeconomic Analysis CURRENT ACTIVITIES In order to close the gap between Western and Eastern European economics educational standards, CERGE uses visiting faculty and re-trains local faculty in foreign universities and institutes. The Center's post-graduate program concentrates on the intensive theoretical and technical training of its students, stressing student participation in research activities from the beginning of their studies and offering instruction by first-class foreign lecturers. The Center also contributes to the requalification of local university faculty, high school teachers, researchers and field economists through extensive outreach courses, seminars and workshops. CERGE seeks to provide a new generation of economists with a solid back- ground in economic leadership. FUTURE PLANS In the future, CERGE hopes to continue the process of building one of the top economics education centers in the region. CERGE also intends to continue to produce and to disseminate economic research of the highest quality. One of the highlights of this effort will be a 1999 international conference enti- tled "European Integration: Institutional Change and Economic Reform," to be hosted by CERGE. Finally, CERGE hopes to continue breaking down the artificial barriers between research and education which existed under communism through its ever-deeper cooperation with the Economics Institute of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic.
