Throughout the post-communist world, societies desperately need better understanding of fundamental economic principles. CERGE-EI Teaching Fellows’ Career IntegrationFellowships enable talented young people with Western PhDs to return to their home countries and assume full-time university positions. Back in their home country, these passionate teachers play a key role in creating support for both free minds and free markets.
