This summer, join working journalists and journalism students together for a unique one-week seminar in Prague, the Czech Republic. The European Journalism Institute (EJI) will be held for a week in July in conjunction with the three-week American Institute on Political and Economic Systems (AIPES) Institute also sponsored by The Fund for American Studies (TFAS).

Institute participants gather to study the basic structure and functions of market economics in the context of such fundamental issues as competition, the role of government in the economy, environmental regulation, globalization, the functions of the price system, health and welfare economics and international trade. Participants will also discuss strategies on how to accurately report on news stories dealing with business, the economy, and fiscal policies.

Instructors and guest lecturers are drawn from the United States and Europe. Lecturers include economics and public policy experts, journalists who cover business and finance, and government and corporate leaders. Those selected to attend EJI will receive a generous scholarship to attend the institute.

Come “Live and Learn” in Prague this summer!
