Second Student School on Modern Economics

The Belarusan Economic Research and Outreach Center is pleased to announce the enrollment to the Second Student School on Modern Economics which is to take place in Minsk on January, 21-30 2013.

Moreover, BEROC in cooperation with the British Embassy in Minsk provides a number of full and partial scholarships for students from regional Belarusian universities covering (fully or partially) travel expenses to and from Minsk and accommodation in Minsk.

Participants who haven’t received scholarship, cover the accommodation expenses themselves. BEROC can assist in reservation of the hotel or apartment in Minsk.
