The CEVRO Institute (Czech: CEVRO Institut) is a private university in Prague, Czech Republic, established in 2005 by CEVRO, a think-tank affiliated with the Civic Democratic Party (ODS).

History

The CEVRO Institute was established on 15 September 2005 by CEVRO, a think tank created in 1999 by ODS politician Ivan Langer. The institute's main goal is to provide cross-disciplinary education in the area of social sciences: law, public administration, economics, business, political science, international relations and security. The university's opening ceremony on 1 November 2006 was attended by Czech Prime Minister Mirek Topolánek.[1] The central facility of the CEVRO Institute is a historic building in the centre of Prague.[2]

As of 2020, the current president is economist Josef Šíma, and the chairman of the board of directors is Ivan Langer.

Academics

The school offers 12 academic programs, two of which are in English.[3]

Bachelor programs in Czech include: Political Science and International Relations; Public Administration in Practice; Law in Commercial Relations; Security Policy; and Social Services Management. In autumn 2020, the school launched an international B.A. program in Economics, Business, and Politics.[4]

Master's programs in Czech include: Political Science; Public Administration; Public Administration/Security Studies; Commercial Law Relations; and Social Services Management in the European Context. In autumn 2016, the school launched a philosophy, politics and economics (PPE) M.A. program taught in English by faculty from Europe and the United States.[5]

The university also offers one MBA program, three MPA programs, and three LLM programs, as well as summer programs in cooperation with Florida State University and the Centre International de Formation Européenne.

The institute publishes New Perspectives on Political Economy, a semi-annual, bilingual, interdisciplinary journal. Its main focus is private property, market, and individual liberty, based mostly on the Austrian School.
