ECON MUNI students learn how to plan, manage, and successfully complete a project with the help of an online simulation game Promis. Players not only learn the skills and abilities needed to work in management, but they can also collaborate in international teams. Students can now play new and updated scenarios that have been developed thanks to the EDUCating for Positive Management (EDUC+M) project.
A new research group focusing on health and healthcare economics is being established at ECON MUNI. Jaroslav Groero, who joined the faculty in Spring of this year, is one of the people behind its creation. He will investigate, for example, how financial crises affect people's health.
ECON MUNI offers many unique opportunities to connect studies with practice. In the spring of last year and this year, students had the opportunity to attend a course where they experienced what it is like to work on a project commissioned by the global cosmetics brand Yves Rocher. The best of the first round won a week's stay in Cagliari, Italy. Petra Cendelínová, a student of business economics and management, took part in the competition.
