Kyiv School of Economics Research Fellows

Sometimes KSE is criticized for sending people abroad to do a PhD - some people claim that this is `pure brain drain'. While some return to teach at KSE, indeed many Ukrainian PhDs stay abroad after finishing their PhD studies. Still this doesn't mean they are entirely `lost' for Ukraine - indeed, some of these people come back to give a seminar in Kyiv, to teach a course at KSE or to participate in our outreach program by teaching a mini course in the region or by teaching at the summer schools we organize. Another visible way of the fact that our alumni placed abroad are useful for Ukraine are their publications related to Ukraine. The Kyiv School of Economics Research Fellow is EERC alumni who, even though they work abroad, still do research related to Ukraine.
