Central European Studies (UPCES) evolved as a joint effort of two highly reputable institutions striving for a common goal: a top quality undergraduate educational experience focused on integral issues of Central Europe. CERGE-EI and Charles University work together to ensure American and Czech students a challenging educational environment in which they learn from experienced faculty, as well as from one another. • Visiting students take part in courses organized specifically for UPCES and are joined by students of Charles University. This interaction guarantees that students take their courses in an international, multi- cultural environment. CERGE-EI feels strongly that students can develop a true sense of the region through direct academic and social interaction within the local culture. • Participants of UPCES will enjoy the added benefit of the activities taking place in the same building related to the CERGE-EI Ph.D. program and ongoing research activities of the Economics Institute. Seminars on both theoretical and applied economics are presented weekly by a wide array of international scholars and researchers, and regular academic workshops and panel discussions are open to all program participants. Additionally, interaction with an internationally comprised student body offers an even more meaningful experience. Mission Statement • • CERGE-EI is driven by a concern for the current and future development of education in the region, as well as a desire to provide its students with top quality educational and research facilities. CERGE-EI has introduced a new pattern of post-graduate economic education into the region, one which is based on intensive

  • Zpráva Seniorátního Výboru Pro Konvent Pražského Seniorátu 2016
    55. konvent Pražského seniorátu ČCE - 2. zasedání, 12. listopadu 2016, Dejvice Tisk č. 3A ZPRÁVA SENIORÁTNÍHO VÝBORU PRO KONVENT PRAŽSKÉHO SENIORÁTU 2016 Seniorátní výbor shrnuje v následujícím textu důležité informace o společném životě a společné práci v Pražském seniorátu od listopadu 2015 do října 2016. 1. SENIORÁTNÍ VÝBOR A JEHO SPOLUPRACOVNÍCI Od minulého volebního konventu pracuje seniorátní výbor v mírně obměněném složení: Roman Mazur (senior – domovský sbor Libeň), Zdena Skuhrová (seniorátní kurátorka – Hvozdnice), Petr Firbas (1. náměstek seniora – Horní Počernice), Daniel Heller (1. náměstek seniorátní kurátorky – Dejvice), Tomáš Trusina (2. náměstek seniora – Benešov) a Tomáš Fendrych (2. náměstek seniorátní kurátorky – Střešovice). Náhradníky jsou nyní za duchovní Lenka Ridzoňová (Střešovice) a Pavel Kalus (Žižkov I), za laiky Jan Mašek (Dejvice) a Eva Potměšilová (Žižkov II). Vzhledem k šíři seniorátní agendy se náhradníci pravidelně účastní schůzí výboru, jsou rovněž členy komise pro posuzování žádosti o příspěvky ze seniorátního solidárního fondu a i jinak se zapojují do práce a služby v seniorátu. Stálými spolupracovníky seniorátního výboru jsou také seniorátní účetní Olga Poláková a seniorátní farář Jakub Malý (od ledna 2016 na celý úvazek pro seniorát). Protože obě strany (seniorátní výbor i Jakub) jsou s dosavadní spoluprací spokojeny, je pro letošní zasedání konventu připravena opakovaná volba Jakuba Malého za seniorátního faráře na dalších 5 let. Kvůli zajištění výhodných bytových podmínek pro seniorátního faráře využil seniorátní výbor nabídky povšechného sboru a nechal na své náklady opravit volný byt v Dejvicích (Dr. Z. Wintra 15/746), který povšechný sbor Jakubovi Malému na dalších 5 let za zvýhodněných podmínek pronajal. Oprava byla nečekaná a v rozpočtu neplánovaná, potřebných 110.000 Kč bylo čerpáno z Fondu bydlení seniorátních farářů, který se tak dostal do schodku.

Chg Forecast Investment The total hotel transaction volume in Prague declined by 85% during the first nine months of 2020.

While this deal was agreed before the COVID-19 Trends outbreak that had a notable impact on investment activity, the sentiment remains somewhat positive with at least one deal expected to close later this year. So far there is no evidence of COVID-related yield change, however, some upward pressure is expected given the increased uncertainty and restricted Prime Yields access to financing. Nevertheless, the relatively high number of investors looking for opportunities and lack of assets on the market should prevent any major change. Market Due to COVID-19, RevPAR fell by 81% to €14 in the first 9 months of 2020. This was primarily driven by a significant drop in occupancy to 21% (down by Performance 73%), as well as a decline in ADR by 27% to €67. While there were some signs of recovery during the summer months, performance began to decline again in September, setting a muted outlook for the rest of the year. The supply pipeline in Prague remains limited, totaling to 1,8K rooms with expected delivery over the next 3 years, accounting for a CAGR of only 1,5% over Supply the period.
