We are delighted to welcome all of you to Budapest and to the School of Public Policy at Central European University for the 2017 Annual Meeting of the European Public Choice Society. We are especially pleased to be hosting this important gathering at the University’s new state-of-the-art buildings in downtown Budapest that were inaugurated only last fall. These environmentally sustainable spaces combine the latest technology with attractive design features – including a rooftop garden on the 7th floor that offers spectacular views of Budapest. This year’s EPCS meeting will showcase the interesting research that is taking place at the frontier of the field of public choice. We are also delighted to welcome Catherine De Vries, Gérard Roland, and Jean-Robert Tyran as keynote speakers. We have organized a social program that will feature some of Budapest’s highlights: a Welcome Reception in the Budapest Jewish Quarter, which is home to the Dohány Street Synagogue, the largest synagogue in Europe; a Gala Dinner in an elegantly decorated historic building along the Danube River; and a visit and reception at the world famous Gellért Baths and Hotel. We want to take this opportunity to thank the many people who have provided the invaluable assistance and support that have made this event possible: CEU President and Rector Michael Ignatieff, Provost and Pro-Rector Liviu Matei, SPP Acting Dean Julia Buxton, former SPP Dean Wolfgang Reinicke, and colleagues at the School of Public Policy, the Department of Economics, and CEU’s Central Administration.

  • International Conference for Phd-Students in Diaconic Science
    International Conference for PhD-Students in Diaconic Science Dear PhD students, two years ago, we had a first international meeting for PhD students in diaconic science at the Institute for Diaconic Science and Management in Bielefeld, Germany. We would like to invite you today to present papers at the next meeting which will take place from July 19 to July 20, 2019 at the Institute for the Study of Diaconia (Diakoniewissenschaftliches Institut/DWI) at Heidelberg University. In different European countries universities offer PhD-programs with a focus on diaconic science. The objective of the conference is to connect students who are working and studying in these programs to get to know each other, to develop avenues of cooperation and to discuss methodological questions as well as approaches to the “philosophy “ of diaconic science. Thus, we would like to invite you to send in a one page description of your PhD project which you would like to present at the conference (poster or paper presentation, forum of questions and discussion). Please mail the one page description of your project until December 30, 2018 to [email protected] heidelberg.de. Diaconic Science is a young science. It is coming from a theological background and developing an interdisciplinary approach to cover the wide range of topics that are raised by social work and social services by church based organizations or local churches. In many countries these organizations operate in a pluralistic society under the conditions of social markets. The shrinking of churches and the growth of these markets has led to the following question: what is the role theology in the study of diaconia? There will be an opening session focusing on this question.

  • The Effect of University Mergers on the Shanghai Ranking
    Scientometrics The Effect of University Mergers on the Shanghai Ranking D. Docampo · D. Egret · L. Cram Received: date / Accepted: date Abstract The growing influence of the idea of world-class universities and the associ- ated phenomenon of international academic rankings are intriguing issues for contem- porary comparative analyses of higher education. Although the Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU or the Shanghai ranking) was originally devised to assess the gap between Chinese universities and world-class universities, it has since been credited with roles in stimulating higher education change on many scales, from in- creasing the labor value of individual high-performing scholars to wholesale renovation of national university systems including mergers. This paper exhibits the response of the ARWU indicators and rankings to institutional mergers in general, and specifically analyses the universities of France that are engaged in a major amalgamation process motivated in part by a desire for higher international rankings. Keywords Academic rankings · Shanghai · ARWU · mergers · French universities · French Higher Education System 1 Introduction The Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU or the Shanghai Ranking) was developed \to assess the gap between Chinese universities and world-class universities" (Liu and Cheng, 2005).
