5 Effective Ways Professors Can Build a Personal Brand

title: 5 Effective Ways Professors Can Build a Personal Brand
description: If you’re on social media or posted a blog, you might already have started building a brand and didn’t realize it. Now’s the time to take control of your brand’s direction. Rome wasn’t built in a day and neither will your brand, but here are five tips to get you started. 1. Build an online presence Google yourself. What do you find? The most important thing you need to build your personal brand is an online presence. This means a developed website and a few social media pages. Your website should include your credentials, a photo of yourself, links to places your work has been published, your best content and links to your social media. Building a site can be tricky, but there are free tools such as Weebly if you need help. Various templates are available from which to choose, and chat and email support also is available. One of the first things students do when they get their class schedule is Google their professors, which is why it’s important to have a website and active social media pages. You want students to feel excited about taking your class because they know you are the authority on that topic. Having a strong online presence will help you establish yourself as a thought leader in your field, which only makes your brand stronger. 2. Be consistent It’s critical to have consistent messaging, colors and logos across all of your mediums when building your brand. Really think about your choices for color and design. Make sure your logo and other images will transfer well to social media. Sometimes, designs don’t look as good when the size is reduced to be a social media profile picture. There are many tools out there that can help with logo design, but if you aren’t sure of what you are doing, it’s best to go seek out the help of a professional. Better yet, look for a print designer who is also experienced in logo design. They’ll help you design a logo that will look great on everything from your business cards and stationary to your website and social media p…
disambiguating description: Brands? Aren’t those for corporations and businesses? Not anymore. Building your brand is about what people think of when they think of you. As a professor, you represent your institution, but you also want to work on your personal brand. Having a reputable brand can help you advance your career whether it’s in academia or not.

How to Switch from Academia to Industry
type: Article
title: How to Switch from Academia to Industry
description: For researchers who are thinking about moving into industry, there are a huge range of employment possibilities outside of academia. The advantages of such a move may include greater job security, better pay, greater opportunities for career progression, and a more goal-oriented research culture. But the culture of business can come as a shock to those who have spent all their work time in universities. If you're thinking about making the switch from academia to industry, we're here with some advice on how to find and apply for the position which is right for you, and how to manage the transition into the industry world. Transferable skills The first step in finding the industry career options that would suit you the best is to identify the skills you've acquired in academia, and to see how these skills could be transferable to an industry setting. Those who have a background in academia almost certainly have excellent writing skills, critical thinking skills, and the ability to review research literature and write reports on it. Depending upon your specific field, you may also have data analysis experience, mathematical and statistical expertise, programming knowledge, and oral presentation skills. All of these will serve you well in an industry context, so identify you particular areas of strength and look for job opportunities which focus on these skills. Networking and advertising yourself In order to hear about industry opportunities and to let employers know that you're available for hire, you need to make use of your professional network and to promote yourself as a professional presence. Some academics can be a bit squeamish about networking or self promotion, but it is an essential part of job hunting and need not be an unpleasant experience. You should ask around your friends and colleagues about any positions which they are aware of, particularly if you've worked with them in the past and they can give you a recommendation to an employer. You should obvio…

title: How To Get An Academic Job After Finishing Your PhD: A Mini Guide To Academic Job Search
description: When you're about to finish your PhD, it can be hard to know where to start looking for a job. If you want to stay in academia, then you'll need to find a postdoc position after you've finished your thesis and defended it. Today we're sharing this mini guide to finding an academic job and some tips on how to handle the process. Fellowships, grants, and other sources of funding For maximum autonomy and security, one of the most preferable options available to those who have finished their PhD is to secure their own funding. That means that you apply directly to a governmental or other organisation to obtain funding for your project idea, and if successful, the funding is allocated to your project and to you personally. The advantage of this is twofold: firstly, you can choose exactly what topic to research, and whatever methodologies or approaches that you think will be effective. There is great intellectual freedom in being able to set the course of your own research. The second big advantage or having your own funding is the security which it offers. If you have funding, you will be in high demand and many departments will be happy to host you as a postdoc. You can pick the institution which best suits you and your project. Also, if things are not working out as you would wish at your institution, or if you decide to move to another city or country, then generally you will be able to transfer your funding with you. Knowing that you have 2-5 years of funding guaranteed frees you from financial stress and allows you to concentrate on your work. Finally, it is worth noting that having secured your own funding is highly regarded by hiring committees, as it demonstrates an ability to be successful in grant applications. Having won your own funding will be a great strength on your CV when you come to apply for other academic roles in the future. Finding a fellowship You will find fellowships and other kinds of postdoc funding offered by governmental organisations, profes…

Getting Started with Stata
type: Article
title: Getting Started with Stata
description: One of the major advantages of Stata is that it is eminently portable. Its developers are committed to cross-platform compatibility and so Stata runs the same way on Windows, macOS, Unix, and Linux systems. All versions of Stata provide the full set of features and commands: there are no special add-ons or toolboxes. Five important features for getting started with Stata 1. The toolbar The Toolbar contains icons that allow you to open and save files, print results, control Logs, and manipulate windows. Some very important tools allow you to open the Do-File Editor, the Data Editor and the Data Browser. 2. Current working directory The cwd is the directory to which any files created in your Stata session will be saved. Likewise, if you try to open a file and give its name alone, it is assumed to reside in the cwd. If it is in another location, you must change the cwd [File >Change Working Directory] or qualify its name with the directory in which it resides. You generally will not want to locate or save files in the default cwd. A common strategy is to set up a directory for each project or task in a convenient location in the filesystem and change the cwd to that directory when working on that task. This can be automated in a do-file with the cd command. 3. Command panel As you’d expect, to execute a command in Stata, you type it into the Command Panel. Although traditionally a command-line driven package, recent versions of Stata contain a user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI). A major advantage of the GUI is that when you are using a new command, you can easily find out the correct syntax to use by viewing it in the command panel. 4. Do file The Do-File editor allows you to construct a file of Stata commands, or “do-file”, and execute it in whole or in part from the editor. A major advantage of a do file is that ability to quickly and effortlessly reproduce your analysis and results. 5. Adopath commands Another advantage of Stata’s command-line driven envir…

Standardizing the Data of Different Scales - Which Method to Use?
type: Article
title: Standardizing the Data of Different Scales - Which Method to Use?
description: When you want to analyze this data to find patterns in it, you will often run a regression and look to compare the effect sizes (i.e., the coefficients) of each variable. But, before you compare effect sizes, you first need to make sure that your data variables are on the same scale so that they can be compared. Considering the example above, the effect of the two measures of reaction time on your dependent variable y would be comparable, as they are both measured in milliseconds. But how would you compare, say, the effect sizes of height and reaction time on y? To do this, you need to use a statistical technique called standardization. Confusingly, standardization can have several meanings, depending on the field. And to add to the confusion, others may refer to the same process as normalization, though we will introduce a separate definition for that. The general process we are talking about here (that normalization and standardization fall under) is the transforming of data of different types to the same scale so that their effects on the dependent variable y can be compared. Methods for standardizing data Standardization: calculating Z-score The first step in standardization is quantifying how much variance exists in your data. This is described by the standard deviation, which is calculated by working out the square root of the variance (the average of the squared deviations of each value from its average value). This will give you a number that represents variance, which you need for the next step. Once you know the mean and standard deviation of your data, you are ready to perform standardization. You calculate a z-score by subtracting the mean from each data point, and then dividing the difference by the standard deviation of the population. This means that each variable will have a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1, so you can compare your different variables meaningfully. Studentization However, economists never know the true population mean or varia…
disambiguating description: When you're doing data analysis, you might find yourself with a number of different variables to work with. For example, perhaps you have invited participants to your lab and run them through your experiment. You have collected data on variables such as the participant's age (in years), their height (in cm), their reaction time to a particular stimulus (in milliseconds), their reaction time to another stimulus (in milliseconds), and their rating of a preference (on a 1 – 10 scale).

The Role of INOMICS and Conference Monkey in the Success of esd Conferences
type: Article
title: The Role of INOMICS and Conference Monkey in the Success of esd Conferences
description: One year ago, 11 Academia Networks and esd Conferences started a cooperative partnership. So far, the partnership has brought copious benefits to both organisations that have contributed to their growth. Esd Conferences benefits from visibility to our audiences on INOMICS and Conference Monkey, as well as visibility in the midst of high quality information such as salary reports. At the same time, the cooperation has greatly helped 11 Academia Networks to expand our user network and build trust in our services. We asked Domagoj Cingula, the esd Conference Organizing Committee President, about his experience being an INOMICS and Conference Monkey Partner as well as about the success of his conferences. We have shared his thoughts below: About esd Conferences “esd Conferences” was the product of the idea of gathering scientists from all over the world to share their thoughts on economic and social developments, from different perspectives. Since then, the conferences have been a great opportunity for younger people for networking and improving their status in their professional lives. After their first conference in Frankfurt, the Varazdin Development and Entrepreneurship Agency, organiser of esd Conferences, set up more events worldwide (Paris, Belgrade, Vienna, Zagreb, Istanbul, New York, Miami, Bangkok, Barcelona, Varazdin, Split, Warsaw, Melbourne etc.) with more scientific institutions as partners and co-organizers. Now, there are more institutions and individuals who want to be included in the organizing committees, and more cities wanting to host the events, not only academic institutions. The Role of the 11 Academia Networks - esd Conferences Partnerships “It is not the same if you are doing something in the academic world “all by yourself” or if you have a strong partner standing behind you. Our partners often provide crucial resources to help us bring the quality of our conferences and publications to a higher level,” affirms Domagoj. The esd partners provid…

7 Presentation Tools That Engage Students More Than Slideshows
type: Article
title: 7 Presentation Tools That Engage Students More Than Slideshows
description: Slideshows are a popular teaching technique, but they can suck the life out of students. Reading the text aloud doesn't hold students accountable for reading it outside of class. And it makes you look obsolete, since you aren't offering them anything they can't learn from a textbook. Besides, technology has gifted you with dozens of classroom tools that are way more fun for your students (and you) than a traditional slideshow. Here are a few creative options to get you started: Pear Deck Eliminating slideshows means you'll have to rewrite all your lesson plans to replace them. That's a lot of work, so rather than throwing your slideshows out all at once, transition slowly with Pear Deck. This slideshow app has cool features you'll never find in PowerPoint. Students use their mobile devices to distract themselves during traditional slideshows, so Pear Deck plays into that habit. It lets students access your slideshow from their device and follow along on their own. They can also interact with the slides anonymously, so shy students can "speak up" in class without the pressure of actually speaking aloud. The best part: you can collect the data after class to see how students interacted with your presentation and improve it for next time. Mindomo Mindomo takes classroom collaboration to the next level with software that lets you work with students to make "mind maps." Mind maps are visual representations that connect ideas and topics you've talked about in class. With its recording capabilities, Mindomo lets you add audio notes to explain a complicated concept. Students can also use Mindomo to outline group projects together. The software comes in a downloadable app, so your students can collaborate on their phones at any time. And after all that, it still has the ability to turn mind maps into slideshows if you really want. Presentation Binders Let's take a break from technology for an old school classroom tool: three-ring binders. Even the best students can be distra…

title: How to Make The Most of Your PhD - Tips For Beginner Doctoral Students
description: Get to know your fellow PhD students. Doing a PhD is sometimes a lonely experience, but it can also be a chance to meet like-minded people. Whenever possible, take the opportunity to get to know your fellows PhD students at lectures, department events, or social events. As well as being a good way to make new friends, you'll benefit from having people to talk to about your PhD experience and to turn to for help or advice. <11an>limit:3;categories:PhD Programs;disciplines:Economics</11an><o:p></o:p> Find out about the library, IT systems, and university administration. While there is a lot to think about at the start of your PhD, it will only get more busy as time goes on. So take a few days at some point near the start of your PhD to look into your university library and IT systems. Find out where the buildings are located, what kind of log-in information or card you need, and who you can ask if you run into problems. Also find out about the administrative arrangements and student support for matriculation, funding, and other issues. If you need to use these services later down the line, you'll be glad that you already know where to turn for help. Organise regular meetings with both of your supervisors. You need to make sure that you have regular contact with both of your supervisors. Specifics can vary between individuals, but generally you should see your main supervisor at least once every two weeks, and your second supervisor at least once per semester. Set up these meetings early on and be diligent about attending them. Do attend lectures, departmental seminars, and events. With so much pressure on, you might feel like you need to spend all of your time getting started on your research project. But you need to learn about your subject more broadly in order to become a good researcher, and you also need to get to know the other people in your department and university. So do attend extra lectures, departmental seminars, and events – particularly at the beginning…

What To Expect And How To Prepare For The Assessment Centre - A Guide For Economists
type: Article
title: What To Expect And How To Prepare For The Assessment Centre - A Guide For Economists
description: Assessments may last for from a couple of hours to several days, depending on the situation. The assessments you will take part in will test your job skills and knowledge to determine whether you will be a good fit for the position you are interviewing for. Written assessments The most common kind of exercise you will have to perform at an assessment centre is a written test. This will be similar to a written undergrdaute exam, in that it is a series of questions to be answered unaided within a limited amount of time. For economists, such written exercises may cover topics such as mathematics and statistics, factual knowledge on economic topics, or logic puzzles. The tests may ask you to write long-form answers to questions, or more commonly will ask for short-form answers, and some may even include multiple choice tests. To prepare for written assessments, you should revise in a similar way to how you would prepare for a written exam during your undergraduate study. Group exercises Another form of assessment used at such centres is the group exercise, in which you must join a discussion or perform a task in a group of around three to twelve people. While you perform the assessment, assessors observe the interactions and the contributions which each person makes to the group. These are challenging to prepare for, as each exercise will be different depending on the personalities, knowledge, and skills of the other group members. One common mistake that people make in such exercises is to be too quiet and reserved, and not to show off their skills and abilities. In order to be assessed well, you have to demonstrate your skills! However, you also want to avoid being too bossy or totally monopolising the group's time, as this will make you look out of touch and difficult to work with. One very useful technique in a group exercise is to take responsibility for keeping the group on track. In discussions, for example, it's easy for the focus of the group to wander away fro…

Assessment centres are a tool commonly used in recruitment for government jobs or for joining large companies with extensive graduate recruitment schemes. Typically, you will be invited to attend such a centre after a preliminary interview and before a final decision is made.

title: Everything You Need To Know About Summer Schools in the Czech Republic
description: Why apply to a summer school? Summer schools are short non-degree courses offered by universities to students who want to get ahead in their study field during the summer break. It is also a perfect solution for those who would like to gain some international experience but don´t have a chance to spend a full semester or more abroad. Last but not least, summer schools are a great opportunity to get to know a university or a certain subject before you choose it for your further studies. Summer schools are available in a number of different disciplines. This summer, for example, the Czech universities host summer schools focused on Architecture, Food tourism, Fabric patterning, Central Europe history and culture, Business administration, Creative arts or Drama therapy. Many summer schools are focused on culture and language of the hosting country and this brings a great added value in the form of local perspective and experience from the real life. In addition, summer schools usually offer ECTS credits for their courses too. Summer schools are not only about studying and gaining new knowledge but can bring you great experiences that go far beyond the average summer holiday. Social and cultural events with fellow students from all over the world are an important part of the curriculum. Students have a perfect opportunity to improve their language skills, meet locals, live in a different culture and much more. The favorable location of the Czech Republic also makes it easy to plan individual trips to other parts of Europe and explore further countries. Some practical details about summer schools The application deadline for summer schools offered by universities in the Czech Republic is typically the end of May but later deadlines might be possible, depending on the course capacity. The application process is easy and can be done by filling out an online form. Most often, the duration of summer schools at Czech universities varies from 1 to 5 weeks and the tuition langu…

What to Do With Your Economics Degree: Career Paths for An Economist
type: Article
title: What to Do With Your Economics Degree: Career Paths for An Economist
description: Researcher One appealing job for economics students is working as a researcher, either in a university setting or for a private company. This career makes use of many of the skills that you will have developed as a student, particularly if you have done postgraduate study which involved independent research. The role is to gather data, analyse it, and write reports which sum up your findings. This is a good career choice for those who have solid quantitative data skills and a high level of written communication skills. However, a disadvantage is that such jobs can be very competitive and sometimes only available as short-term contracts. You would find research jobs for economists with organisations such as the International Monetary Fund (https://www.imf.org/) or the National Bureau of Economic Research (http://www.nber.org/). Teacher If you have completed your economics degree, you could consider working as a teacher in a secondary school, or as a lecturer at a university. It's increasingly common for economics to be taught at schools, and it's important for young people to understand the way that the global financial system operates. Teaching this information can be personally rewarding as you are directly helping young people to have a more financially empowered life. The disadvantage of this type of work is that it is usually poorly compensated when compared to the other types of career which are open to economists. You could find teaching jobs at local secondary schools in your area, or at local and state universities. For example, universities which are currently hiring for economics lecturers include the University of East Anglia in the UK (https://www.uea.ac.uk/) or Charles Darwin University in Australia (http://www.cdu.edu.au/). Analyst A common career path for economics graduates is working as an analyst. This career involves analysing data, creating new solutions, and communicating these solutions to others. This would include roles such as business analy…

How to properly cite your conference paper

title: How to properly cite your conference paper
description: When you write a conference paper This one is easy – when you're writing a conference paper to present, then you should use the same referencing style that you would use for a publication in your field. Include author names and dates in parentheses in the text, then put a bibliography at the end in which you list full references for each of your citations. When you want to cite something you saw at a conference If you've seen a great poster or presentation at a conference and you want to cite it in your own work, then you may need to check up on the reference format in a style guide, as this will vary between fields. For example, here is the section of the APA style guide on how to cite material which you have seen at a conference. For papers or posters: Adams-Labonte, S. K. (2012, August). Daytime impairment due to college students’ technology use during sleep: Similarities to sleep apnea. Poster session presented at the meeting of the American Psychological Association, Orlando, FL. Nguyen, C. A. (2012, August). Humor and deception in advertising: When laughter may not be the best medicine. Paper presented at the meeting of the American Psychological Association, Orlando, FL. For symposia: Krinsky-McHale, S. J., Zigman, W. B., & Silverman, W. (2012, August). Are neuropsychiatric symptoms markers of prodromal Alzheimer’s disease in adults with Down syndrome? In W. B.

disambiguating description: One of the great things about attending conferences is getting to learn about the latest and most cutting-edge research before its published in journals or books. You can hear authors presenting their newest work, sometimes even before their experiments or data collection are complete. This information is very interesting to have, however, it is also more speculative than published work as it has not been peer-reviewed or edited. For this reason, it's important to be clear when you cite a conference paper, so that your audience can see that the work has not been peer-reviewed. To help with this, here's a guide on citing conference papers.

5 Tips to improve your experience at conferences

title: 5 Tips to improve your experience at conferences
description: 2. Go and see talks on topics which sound interesting, even if they're not directly related to your work If you've planned out ahead of time which talks and posters you want to see, you've probably honed in on those topics which are directly related to your research. And this is an excellent way to get the most informational value out of a conference. But conferences are also a change to re-energise and inspire you, particularly if you're finding it hard to motivate yourself. If a talk catches your eye, or a poster sounds interesting, then go along and see, even if it isn't directly tied to your research. Getting yourself excited about your subject is always a worthwhile activity! 3. Spend some time with students of the hosting department One group of attendees at conferences who are often overlooked are the undergraduate or postgraduate students of the hosting department, who often help out with administration or support tasks during the event. If you want to get the real scoop on what it's like to work in the institution which is hosting the event, or you want information on how labs or other research groups work in practice, then you can learn a lot from these students. Have a chat to the people who are handing out badges or helping attendees find their way around the event space, and you might learn something helpful. 4. Be bold with your opinions during discussions Whether you're participating in a discussion following the keynote lecture, or taking part in a casual debate over dinner, don't let yourself be intimidated by large crowds or famous names at a conference. Be bold in sharing your thoughts and opinions, and you will learn a lot more from your conference experience and make more of an impression on others. Keep your comments professional, of course, but feel free to state your mind and don't be shy about participating – that's what these events are for, after all! 5. Get plenty of rest, water, and food We feel a bit like your mother reminding you of th…
disambiguating description: 1. Talk to people you don't know as well as those you do Conferences are, among other things, a great place to catch up with friends and fellow academics working in your field. If you've been in academia for a while then it's likely that you'll bump into some people you already know at a conference, or maybe you'll even arrange a meetup with friends beforehand. It's good to keep in touch and to have an excuse to get together socially with your colleagues. However, don't forget to make time for speaking to new people too. Not only will this help you hear new ideas and new perspectives, it will also help you to grow your professional network. So make an effort to talk to some new faces as well as catching up with friends.

Economists and Entrepreneurship: Can Economists Be Good Entrepreneurs?
type: Article
title: Economists and Entrepreneurship: Can Economists Be Good Entrepreneurs?
description: Good numeracy and a solid understanding of statistics One distinct advantage that you'll gain from the study of economics is an understanding of statistics, statistical tests, and statistics software. This, along with mathematics, will strengthen your numeracy skills, which are of great importance to entrepreneurs. To succeed as an entrepreneur, it's not enough just to have a great idea for a business – you also need to be able to assess whether your business will be profitable, to work out how much you should charge for your product or service, and to be able to handle complex budgets. All of these skills will be much easier to learn for those who already have a solid grasp of statistics. Basic understanding of finance Related to the importance of numeracy for an entrepreneur is that importance of understanding the basic principles of finance. Economists may well have studied finance units as part of their degrees, and they will certainly have a better than average knowledge about taxes, loans, investments, and so on. This puts economists ahead of the curve when it comes to starting their own businesses, which will require a large amount of practical financial management. Understanding risk and probability Another advantage for entrepreneurship which is conveyed by studying economics is an understanding of risk and probability. When looking at possibilities for investment, for example, an economist can call on their training to think about the likelihood of a return on their investment, how large the return could be, and whether the possible gains outweigh the risks in any given deal. Entrepreneurs do need to be risk takers, as they need to be willing to try new things even if they may not succeed, but an understanding of what is a probable outcome will allow you to run a business in a smarter and more successful way. Critical thinking and logic An under-rated skill gained from the study of economics is critical thinking and the ability to apply logic to a complex …

10 Reasons To Study in Asia
type: Article
title: 10 Reasons To Study in Asia
description: Asia is leading the world With some 1.4 billion people living just in China, Asia is by far the biggest continent in the world in terms of population and trade. Many of the world’s leading companies are based in Asia, and studying there can be a nice addition to your resume when applying for a job at any of these companies or firms that do business with them. Culture The culture in Asia is different! If you grew up in the western-world, going to Asia for the first time will be an eye-opening experience. The way people live, their habits and traditions, and on a more general level, everything really, is different. Best way to experience the culture is to live somewhere for an extended period of time, and there’s no better way to do that than studying there! Adventures What would a semester abroad be without adventures? From exploring some of the world’s biggest cities like Shanghai, to hikes through dense rain forests and diving with turtles in Lombok, Asia really has it all. Study in Asia and make every day of your time abroad an adventure! Food Mmmmm. Where should we even start? Each Asian country has its own cuisine, and all of them are mouth-watering! Asian kitchen typically mixes sweet flavors with some spice, and often the dishes are served with a side of rice. For an exchange student, not only is the food in Asia amazingly tasty, it’s also affordable! One could spend years traveling Asia just trying new foods every day – we sure would love to as well! Affordabilit­­y Most countries in South East Asia are well known for the low living costs. Especially if you are receiving financial aid for your studies from your government or a study grant from your university or another institute, your expenses will remain very low! When compared to the tuition fees of the colleges and universities in United States, the program fees of Asia Exchange are extremely affordable too!

Should I Choose an MBA Concentration? - Pros & Cons
type: Article
title: Should I Choose an MBA Concentration? - Pros & Cons
description: Pros of an MBA concentration At some business schools, you will find that having a concentration is mandatory. But if choosing a concentration is optional for you, then you should consider your long-term career goals. If you know exactly which job you are aiming for after graduation, a concentration during the MBA can help you get an edge on other applicants. For example, if you wish to enter a career in financial services, then a finance concentration will help, both to prepare you better for your future role, and to help you to stand out from the crowd when you are applying for highly competitive positions with very large numbers of applicants, all or most of whom have an MBA. There can also be a financial advantage to choosing a concentration, as some of the best compensated jobs which are open to MBA students – such as in banking or risk management – are roles in which you can specialise while you are still studying. Typically, an MBA with a concentration can help you earn more over a lifetime career than an equivalent Master's degree. So if you are focused on getting a well-paid job once you graduate then a specialisation can help you to achieve this. Even a field which you think you may not like, such as information technology, or a field which seems obscure, such as sustainability, may prove not only more interesting than you think, but also rewarding. Employers in niche areas who are looking to fill a position with an MBA graduate are likely to prefer applicants with knowledge of their field, and also willing to pay a higher salary for the right candidate. Cons of an MBA concentration If you already have a degree in economics, and are looking for an MBA as a means of transitioning into general business and management, then in a sense you already have a specialisation in economics. With an understanding of economic theory, and an awareness of how markets work and the role that businesses function within them, with an additional, general MBA in your pocket you…
disambiguating description: When you begin studying for an MBA, you may have the chance to choose a concentration – that is, a specialisation in which you focus on a particular area of business to study in-depth. Students with an economics graduate degree who are starting an MBA program are especially likely to be tempted towards a concentration option, with the perspective gained from an economics program offering an advantage in career paths like consulting, finance or information systems. It is particularly common in the USA for MBA students to have the chance to choose a concentration before they begin their course, similar to how other students would choose a major. If you are given this chance, should you choose a concentration? Here are the pros and cons of specialising during your MBA.

Step-by-step Guide on Applying to Universities in the Czech Republic
type: Article
title: Step-by-step Guide on Applying to Universities in the Czech Republic
description: Although Czech is the main language of tuition at universities, over 1000 study programmes in English are offered at all degree levels and across all fields. Below you can find a step-by-step guide that will help you in getting started with your application! 1. Find your study programme Start by choosing the degree programme that fits your interests and ideas. You can study in the Czech language, in English and selected programmes even in other foreign languages. Use the interactive finder of study programmes at www.studyin.cz with various search functions to get started. Studies in foreign languages are subject to tuition fees, although these are generally much lower than in Western Europe. Maybe you can even take advantage of some of the scholarship opportunities offered to foreign students, so have a look at this page. Studies in the Czech language at public universities are free of charge. Many universities offer one-year long language courses that can prepare you for studies in the Czech language as well as for entrance examinations. Find out more here. 2. Prepare basic documents The basic condition for entering studies is the successful completion of the previous level of study (certificate of graduation from a secondary school for Bachelor´s (3 years) and long-cycle Master´s degree programmes (5-6 years); Bachelor’s degree for a follow-up Master´s; Master’s degree for a Doctoral study programme). If you have degrees issued abroad and wish to enroll at the university in the Czech Republic, you will be required to obtain an official document confirming that your degree is recognised in the Czech Republic. For details see this page. Besides certified copies of your educational qualifications, the minimum entry requirements usually include a completed and submitted application, proof of the admission procedure fee payment and compliance with the conditions for the specific study programme (e.g. letter of motivation, letter of recommendation, portfolio, English pr…

How to choose the right conference for me
type: Article
title: How to choose the right conference for me
description: National or international? The first factor to consider is whether you would like to attend a national or an international conference. National conferences are aimed at researchers from a particular discipline within their home country, while international conferences are for researchers from all over the world. International conferences lend to be larger and more well-regarded, so if you're looking for the biggest boost to you career then you should attend an international conference. However, there are also good reasons for attending a national conference: they are generally cheaper in terms of travel and attendance costs, so are better if you are on a tight budget. Also, if English is not your first language and you are not very comfortable with it, you might want to consider a national conference. International conferences generally operate in English, while national conferences operate in the local language, which may be more comfortable for some attendees. Large or small? Conferences can be small, with fewer than fifty attendees, or large, with thousands of attendees. These give rise to very different conference experiences. Large conferences give you the chance to meet vast numbers of people and to create a very large network, but only if you are diligent about taking note of names and contact details and then following up with people afterwards. Large conferences are also more likely to attract big names in your field, so if you want to make contact with famous researchers then they are a good option. There are advantages to a smaller conference, however. With fewer people attending, it will be easier to get to know them and the socializing is likely to be more casual. Also, you usually have a greater chance of being accepted to present a poster or to give a talk at a smaller conference, and having a talk on your CV is always impressive, even at a small conference. Specialist or general? Conferences may be focused on a very specific topic, or they may be mor…

How to Wisely Plan a Budget for Conference Trip
type: Article
title: How to Wisely Plan a Budget for Conference Trip
description: Check up on your institutional funding Your conference costs should be covered by your institution – either by your program, your department, or your university – so find out who is providing the funding. You need to contact the finance department or find the relevant set of guidance about expenses on the university website. Different organisations will have different rules about exactly what is covered, how much you can spend, and what level of expenses are acceptable. There might be rules such as a maximum amount that can be spent on accommodation per day. Specific expenses You should allocate money the following items for your budget, provided they are covered by your institution: Travel costs, including flights, transfers from the airport, buses fares while you are there, and possibly taxi fares Accommodation costs Cost of registration for the conference Costs of conference events such as the conference dinner Possibly a daily per diem for small daily expenses Travel Conference expenses should usually cover an economy class flight to the nearest airport to the conference, plus the cost of transfers from the airport to the location. Generally, institutions will cover the cost of economy class flights, but not business class or first class unless you are very senior. Don't forget to take account of the travel costs you will incur during the conference week, such as costs of taking a bus from your hotel to the conference venue. Also, you may need to budget for taxi rides. In most situations, it would be acceptable to expense the cost of a taxi on the way home from a late night dinner event, for example, but you would be expected to travel mostly on public transport when it is available. If you want to travel to the conference location a few days early or to stay on a few days afterwards, it is usually not a problem for expenses claims. You can only claim accommodation costs for the days of the actual conference (for example, if you stay for 6 days but the conferenc…
