We are pleased to announce that Daniel Münich has been awarded this year's Jan Švejnar and Katherine Terrell Teaching Prize. The award is based on student ratings of course instruction in CERGE-EI's core and field graduate courses.

Daniel's success follows from teaching the PhD course in Labor Economics.

Over a decade ago, Jan and Kathy set up the prize to publicly recognize the best teachers of economics at CERGE-EI, and to emphasize that graduate teaching quality is a vital part of CERGE-EI's mission.

On Thursday, 27 July 2017, the festive halls of CERGE-EI’s Schebek Palace witnessed the MA in Applied Economics Graduation Ceremony.

Eva Hromádková, the program director, gave a warm opening address highlighting
the qualities of each student as she got to know them through their CERGE-EI journey.
