Events at CERGE-EI

The CERGE-EI Festival is a community event that brings together faculty, alumni, and students to show prospective students from diverse backgrounds what an education in economics can empower them to achieve. Economic research is not just about theory and models — it’s a powerful toolkit for understanding human behavior, shaping public policy, improving markets, and addressing complex global challenges.

Whether you study Economics, Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, Engineering, Computer Science, Finance, or the Social Sciences — if you’re curious about the world and its challenges, this day is for you. Discover why an economics education matters, connect with our vibrant alumni network, and explore how studying at CERGE-EI could be your next big step. The Festival is also an opportunity for CERGE-EI alumni to reconnect, share their experiences, and contribute to the institute’s ongoing development and future growth.
