| The Civic Education Project (CEP), founded
in 1991, is a private, non-profit organization dedicated to assisting democratic reform by
supporting higher education in Central and Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union and
Mongolia. CEP aims to contribute to the development of future generations of social
science academics in Central and Eastern Europe and Eurasia and to help build inclusive
academic networks locally, regionally and globally. It pursues these goals through the
targeted support of promising young scholars and through the acquisition, development and
exchange of knowledge, resources, and methods focused on student-centered learning and
academic excellence. The CEP-Citibank PhD Studies Support Program aims to stimulate the
interest of university students in academic career and motivate prospective PhD students
to participate actively in ongoing qualitative changes in university education. |
