Summer Economics Institute (SEI) 2020

The 9th Annual Summer Economics Institute (SEI) 2020 aims to give Slovenian university students a US-style hands-on introduction to business and economics in the real world, as well as the tools to create new businesses – the foundation of entrepreneurship.

 

The SEI 2020 student program is a highly selective program giving 20 students the opportunity to intern with AmCham Slovenia member companies as well as providing students with an overview of business, economics and entrepreneurship organized by the US Embassy Ljubljana through a two week Lean Start Up program with a US Professor of Entrepreneurship plus over 20 targeted seminars, site visits and invited speakers.

To get the help from the Faculty with the application process, please contact Igor Riznar, PhD at igor.riznar@fm-kp.si. He will help you fill the application. The application deadline is Friday, March 20th 2020.

Who organizes it?
The program is jointly organized by the US Embassy Ljubljana and AmCham Slovenia. It is funded in part by the US Embassy Ljubljana and in part by AmCham Heroes. The program and internships are open to Slovenian citizens aged 19-28 who are 2nd year and higher undergraduate or master’s degree students enrolled in faculties preferably at Slovenian universities. 
 
Will I get an internship? Is the internship paid?
Every student will be invited to participate in the SEI 2020 internship. The application form will ask you to specify fields of interest. At the SEI 2020 interview, students will be asked to name up to three AmCham Slovenia member companies where they would like to intern. Although we cannot guarantee an internship at the companies you choose, we will do our best to find you a great match! These internships are paid; companies are advised to pay at least the minimum hourly rate for students.
