Economics and Management of Public Administration and Regional Development
This programme is taught in Czech only
Wine in the box or carp in the fridge? None of us has ever expected such attitude of Czech officials or politicians who are paid from our taxes. That is why this programme will provide you with experience and skills regarding public funds deducted from our taxes for the benefit of all of us. Together we will find out the answers to the questions which have always been in our minds: How to ensure efficient financing and democratic management of our municipalities and regions? What should the role of citizens be in that process? How can citizens be involved in the decision development of municipalities and regions? How to recognize, evaluate and present the problems of municipalities and regions to our politicians? How to properly set goals and priorities for development of our municipalities and regions? Which tools should be used to fulfil them? Which sources should be used to fund these tools? How to evaluate and control the efficiency of the measures taken? How to be “trendy” and “smart” when managing the municipalities and regions, which means “how to be smart”. How should municipalities and regions adapt to the impacts of global, economic, social and environmental changes such as digitalization, foreign investments, shared economy, population ageing, migration of people to the suburbs or a climatic change?
