Become a CASE Expert

CASE research and technical assistance projects are carried out by Warsaw-based scholars, as well as by a network of experts from across Europe, the Commonwealth of Independent States, North America and beyond. These experts usually have full-time positions in academia, government and/or the private and non-profit sectors, while working with CASE on a project-by-project basis. Some experts, however, will step outside of their primary career to work in CASE projects for several months or even several years. While we have a diverse set of backgrounds and interests, we are united in our commitment to conducting effective research and advisory work on the challenges facing transition economies, the opportunities of European integration and the effects of globalization and other world economic trends on the region.
