The faculty specializes in teaching and research in fields related to international economic and political relations.

Cooperation with Corporate Partners

FIR cooperates with various corporate partners. Each field of study has a Strategic Review and Corporate Advisory Board involving top managers and representatives from governmental and other institutions, often themselves FIR alumni. These corporate partners support the development of the faculty by involving experts in teaching, providing consultations for theses and seminar papers, offering internships and specialized practices, as well as with financial support for projects. The faculty’s partners include Globus, Komerční banka, L'Oréal, Procter & Gamble, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

FIR is a member of the International Chamber of Commerce.

Research and projects

There are two journals published at the School: Working Papers,[1] and Contemporary Europe.[2]

The School supports a number of student projects and initiatives, of which the most significant is the Prague Student Summit, the largest Model United Nations in Central Europe.[3] The Junior Diplomat Initiative (JDI) is among the most active student organizations, providing a platform for students to interact with Czech and foreign diplomats.
