The CENTRAL Network is excited to announce grants for its new Leadership Program, taking place from August 24 to September 14, 2025. Join us as we bring together top universities from Austria (University of Vienna), Poland (University of Warsaw), the Czech Republic (Charles University), Hungary (Budapest ELTE), and Germany (Humboldt-University Berlin).

The CENTRAL Leadership Program offers an immersive journey through the region. In this unique initiative, up to 30 students and doctoral candidates will explore Budapest, Vienna, Prague, Berlin and Warsaw. Participants gain invaluable insights into the diverse realms of economy, politics, diplomacy, society, and public service, fostering the skills and vision needed to drive the advancement of the Central European region, promote peace, and strengthen the European project.

Specialized workshops provide deep insights into the region’s political and cultural dynamics and refine leadership skills. A preparatory online meeting ensures participants are ready for this transformative experience.

Deadline extended to April 14, 2025
