News archive - Award for Scientific Work On European Economic Integration for Young Economists

Four applicants will be selected for the Olga Radzyner Award of the Oesterreichische Nationalbank and receive 3,000 euro each for scientific work (master's or doctoral thesis, a working paper or a scientific article) dealing with the topic of European economic integration. The conditions include age (below 35) and citizenship (eligible are economists from CEE and SEE, including Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia from the Western Balkan countries). Deadline for applications is October 3, 2007.

The author shall submit his/her work (date of submission as in item 6) before his/her 35th birthday. The award was founded to commemorate Olga Radzyner, the former Head of the Foreign Research Division of the Oesterreichische Nationalbank, who played a pioneering role in establishing the OeNB’s focus on Central and Eastern European analysis and who died in a tragic accident in 1999. From the very outset of Central and Eastern European countries’ transition from centrally planned economies to market economies, the OeNB has closely monitored, analyzed and supported this process. In this spirit, the award is intended to support young economists in the following countries: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Montenegro, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovak Republic, Slovenia.
