In the winter semester of an academic year 2023/2024, we organized jubilee 10th edition of an international educational project Central Europe Connect - Joint Certificate Program (CEC), that enables short-term international student exchange at three economic universities in Central Europe. The CEC project is a joint project of the University of Economics in Vienna (WU), the University of Economics in Warsaw (SGH) and the University of Economics in Bratislava (EUBA). Within this unique certified program, 20 students from each university attend lectures and discussions on the topics of economic development of the countries of the Central European region.
The 10th edition of the CEC program was officially launched on October 9, 2023 in Warsaw with the course „Marketing resources and consumer behaviour in Central Europe“, organized by partner university SGH. The CEC program then continued in Bratislava from November 6, 2023 with the course „Structural Dynamics in Central European Economies“, organized under the professional supervision of EUBA. In the opening speech, students were greeted by Boris Mattoš, the Vice-Rector for International Relations of EUBA. After the welcome part, students continued in the program with a campus tour and lectures. Students took part on specialized lectures and worked in teams on group projects throughout the whole week. Apart from block teaching, a tour of Bratislava was prepared for students, as well as social activity organised by the ESN EU Bratislava, farewell dinner and a visit to ESET company, where they discussed the topics of cyber security. The block teaching was concluded on Saturday, November 11, 2023 with presentations of the results of group projects.
The 10th edition of the CEC program will be concluded in Vienna on November 25, 2023 with the course „Strategies and Management for Central Europe“, organized under the professional supervision of partner university WU.
