New Economic School
OUTREACH CENTER

In 1998, NES set up an Outreach Center in attempt to disseminate its expertise in modern economics to economics faculty outside of Moscow. At present, activities of the Outreach center are temporarily suspended.

In 1998-2004 NES Outreach center used two primary methods to disseminate expertise of NES faculty: (a) week-long workshops in economics and econometrics financed through generous grants from Catherine T. and John D. McArthur Foundation.; (b) long-term academic partnership with selected economics departments at provincial universities that includes course development, joint research projects, and placement of provincial faculty at NES. This partnership program was suported by the Open Society Institute.

In 2004-2006 NES participated in the Regional Seminar for Excellence in Teaching of the Higher Education Support Program with the Open Society Institute, leading a project entitled "Money and Economic Growth: Linking Theory and Evidence"

Participants of the Economics Education and Reseacrh Concortium and other regional scholars were able to spend a module at NES as interns:
