The East Central European Scholarship Program (ECESP) was launched in 1990, as
Soviet power in Eastern Europe was collapsing. It is the first education and
training program to be funded under the Support for East European Democracy Act
(SEED) of the U.S. Congress. Administered by CIED/Georgetown University, the
Program helps democracies of Eastern Europe to transform their post-communist
societies and economies. Leaders, experts, administrators and managers from
Eastern Europe gain the skills they need to:
* strengthen democratic governance
* build a vibrant civil society that participates in political, social and
economic processes
* promote a foreign policy of reconciliation and integration
* ensure sustainable private sector growth and a transparent financial sector
* support human development through improved health/social services and
education
Over the course of its twelve year existence, ECESP has provided a unique and
dynamic training experience for more than 1200 participants. As part of its
activity, ECESP has assisted the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia in
their endeavors to achieve the standards required for integration into Europe.
It is currently active in Albania, Bulgaria, Macedonia and Romania, working to
help these countries achieve similar standards.
ECESP programs consist of long term education and training opportunities, as
well as short term professional training programs that are available in the
U.S., in-country and in the region. The Program works closely with USAID,
international organizations, local experts and alumni to assess country needs
and build synergy.

PILOT COURSE ANNOUNCEMENT
Topic:
Introduction to Refugee Studies

course will enable the students to familiarize themselves with the substance of
the MA program. However, the benefit from the set up pilot course will be
mutual, for the students as well as for the CRFMS, respectively. By organizing
this experimental course, the CRFMS will have the opportunity to select the
prospective candidates and facilitate their incorporation into the forthcoming
MA program on RFM studies.
