The Department of Regional Economics and Administration is launching a new doctoral programme Regional Economics. On this occasion, the Infrastructure for Doctoral Study (i.e. Regional Economics Laboratory) was inaugurated on 24 October and the admission procedure for the postgraduate programme was started.
The ceremony was attended by professor Manfred M. Fischer, the world-famous regional science expert, who was involved in the preparation of the study programme. It was also attended by vice-rector for research and doctoral studies of MU prof. Šárka Pospíšilová, vice-dean for science, research, quality and academic qualifications of FEA MU doc. Petr Pirožek, most of the members of the Doctoral board Regional Economics and other close collaborators.
The establishment of the doctoral programme itself as well as the construction of the laboratory were supported by the OP Research, Development and Education. In the new laboratory, PhD. students will have an excellent background for their studies and research, and at the same time, this infrastructure will be used for teaching and workshops within the study.

Experts from companies at the ECON MUNI Partner Day encouraged learners to be curious and proactive. They also shared their tips and recommendations for getting an internship or your first dream job.
Since the beginning of the year, the researchers involved in the In-Touch project are trying to improve the lives of people with dementia and of those who take care of them. Health economists from ECON MUNI are also part of the international team. Jakub Hlávka, head of the Health Economics, Policy, and Innovation Institute (HEPII), says that palliative care should take the emotional, spiritual, and cultural needs of patients into account.
