Two-day workshop on Croatia's entry into the Eurozone.
Applications: Closed

Zagreb, Croatia
Croatians in the public sector
Croatia has begun to develop a strategy for joining the Eurozone within a timeframe of five to seven years. Entry into the Eurozone poses considerable economic, logistical and political challenges and has resulted in positive economic performance in some countries (e.g., Slovakia) whereas others have experienced prolonged economic woes (e.g., Greece). Why is that the case? What are the reasons behind their success or failure? Were there particular reforms implemented before the introduction of the Euro that had a decisive impact?
This two-day workshop is conducted by The Center on Global Economic Governance at the School of International Public Affairs (SIPA) at Columbia University, and organized by the Prime Minister’s Office, Luksic Scholars, and The Center on Global Economic Governance explores these questions in order to assist Croatia as it moves toward entry into the Eurozone.

Alen Rajko, 2009A combination of highly skilled lecturers, well balanced and relevant program, best practice examples and innovative approach toward public administration. That’s the core of my experience with the Executive Education about the 21st century governance, launched by the Luksic Fellowship. Mind opening and of practical use for an administrative (later administrative judiciary) professional like myself.”

Santiago, Chile - Beijing, China - Shanghai, China
Undergraduate students attending Universidad de Chile FEN, Peking University Guanghua SOM, and Fudan University SOM
After more than a decade of working with Tsinghua University in China, Luksic Scholars expanded to two other universities in China (Guanghua School of Management at PKU and Fudan School of Management) while creating a new scholarship at home in Chile at the Universidad de Chile. For the first time, an undergraduate scholarship was developed and now students from these three schools have the opportunity to study abroad in a Chile-China exchange program. This program has benefitted very talented young students, many of whom had never traveled outside of their home country before receiving the Luksic Scholarship.
Candidates will be awarded scholarships and/or funding directly from the university to which they apply.

Jeremías Cortés, 2018The idea of studying for a semester in China was something I could only fantasize about in my dreams, but the scholarship made it possible, and it was one of the most enriching experiences of my life.”
