The center was founded in 1991 by a group that included Jan Švejnar and Jozef Zieleniec, with a goal to educate a new generation of economists from post-communist countries. The school provides an American-style PhD program in economics, Master in Economic Research, and bachelor program EMO( Economics of Markets and Organizations) which is provided by the Faculty of Business Administration (FPH VŠE) in cooperation with CERGE-EI.
