CENTRAL Leadership Program – Call for Applications

The CENTRAL Network invites Master’s and PhD students to apply for the CENTRAL Leadership Program.

As part of the program, 30 students from five CENTRAL universities, as well as from the Ukrainian Ivan Franko National University of Lviv and Andrássy University Budapest, will visit Warsaw, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, and Budapest. Participants will gain invaluable insights into the diverse dimensions of Central Europe – including economy, politics, diplomacy, society, and public service.

In each location, participants will take part in specialized workshops and courses focusing on diplomacy, science, and society, complemented by enriching cultural programs. The program will be preceded by preparatory online meetings.

Travel, accommodation, and part of the meal costs will be covered by the organizers. Participants are only required to cover the cost of travel to the first location and return travel from the final location.

Program dates: August 30 – September 20, 2026

Application deadline: March 31, 2026
