The English-taught programme led by CEFER and TMTS researchers as well as lecturers from the Faculty of Economics and Mathematics at Vilnius University will enhance internationalisation of studies, provide opportunities for young talents to stay in Lithuania, prepare new generation analysts capable of combining economic intuition, data analysis, mathematical and computer modelling, and contribute to the increase in the supply of highly-skilled labour.
