Erasmus in Prague

My next stop after Budapest was Prague and local CEMS community. The autumn weather was not so friendly to me – still rain and fog disables me to visit the famous sightseeing of this great historical city. My new Prague friends showed me the most famous places at least on the pictures and promised to take me there in spring.

Prague CEMS Club showed me their work which they have divided into three core pillars – socializing, education and corporate partnerships.

First day of my stop we have met with local academic director Mr. Jiri Hnilica, academic coordinator Mrs. Renata Subrtova and corporate relations coordinator Mrs. Tereza Kralova. Tight cooperation between CEMS Club and the CEMS program representatives enables to join the activities of both units together and empower the impact of each other.


At the same day we have visited one of many interesting classes taught at VSE exclusively for the CEMS program. I have to say that there is a really good working atmosphere at the lectures when the teachers really communicate with the students and thanks to corporate partners solve real business cases.


Next day I was invited to various meetings with CEMS Club corporate partners. The representatives are already planning activities for the next semester starting in March with events like CEMS teambuilding, rookie weekend for the next year students, rotation dinner or CEMS golf tournament. The unique strong relations with corporate partners enable them to create various events sponsored by the partners and push the meaning of CEMS club to another dimension.


But student life is not only about studying. Therefore the CEMS Club organizes various socializing and cultural activities. It's a pity that I did not have a chance to visit the main local event of the semester CEMS Gala Casino Night which took place 14 days ago. Everyone who has something in common with CEMS met during this unique gala event. But hopefully this is not the only event. Students and alumni meet every second week on traditional CEMS drink each time held in different local restaurant. This time they had a meeting in famous restaurant „Pravek“(Primeval) with great primeval show and decoration.



Unfortunately I haven't got more time to visit more local events and see the famous Prague places. My next stop will be St. Gallen. I am already looking forward to it :)
