FLEVEES: Future Leaders in Public Administration and Finance: Embracing EU Values, Excellence, and Environmental Stewardship

ongoing

The FLEVEES project aims to nurture future leaders in public administration and finance by embedding core EU values, excellence, and environmental stewardship. This initiative offers specialized courses in English and Czech for master’s students, covering EU law, policymaking, environmental, and monetary policies. Students will gain theoretical knowledge and practical skills for roles in EU institutions and national public administration. The curriculum emphasizes EU law, policymaking, environmental protection, and monetary policy. Graduates will be well-equipped to advocate for EU policies and values in their careers, whether within the EU institutional framework or in Czech public administration. The primary goal is to disseminate knowledge about the EU, highlighting sustainable governance, ethical practices, and the benefits of the monetary union. The main course on EU law and policies, taught in English, will be accessible to international students. Local and ERASMUS students will interact, facilitating cultural exchange. Two more specialised courses in Czech will be updated with relevant EU policies. The project includes academic research, offering policymakers insights into the latest EU studies developments. This research will result in two papers published in peer-reviewed journals, focusing on EU monetary policy and environmental policy. Additionally, academics and students will engage with international experts through meetings and seminars both onsite and on-line. To broaden the project's impact, FLEVEES will organize public activities, such as lectures for University of the Third Age and secondary school students. These activities aim to raise awareness about the EU, its policies, and values, fostering a deeper understanding of the EU's role in promoting sustainable and ethical governance. This initiative will strengthen the EU's influence, promote its values including sustainability, and support the potential future monetary union within the Czechia.
