Attention students and holders of masters degrees!
We have analyzed the results of the 2008 IFS Internship Program for Students and Holders of Masters Degrees from Russian Universities and figured out that this program had significant positive effects and improved educational level of our interns. In this regard we are glad to inform you that from 2009 the IFS Internship Program will be held on a regular basis. A founder of the Association of Russian Economic Think Tanks (ARETT), the IFS positions its internship program as a part of ARETT university project and will take part in other projects to promote education and science in Russia.
We have worked out the Market Analysis program to be included in the IFS internship plan that is intended to give up-to-date theoretical expertise to interns and develop their practical skills to handle financial and economic research projects. Efficiency of this program has been proved with successful performance of IFS interns at the recent 10th Russian Symposium ‘Strategic Planning and Business Development' (April 14-15, 2009, Central Economics and Mathematics Institute of the Russian Academy of Science).
We hope that in the short-term perspective students and masters degree holders will be widely studying the Market Analysis program as part of their self-education.

Dear friends!
I am happy to welcome you on our website on behalf of the Institute for Financial Studies. The IFS is an independent research center founded in 1996 by a skilled team of young economic experts who set out to bring the latest developments in world financial and economic theory to bear on the decision-making practices at Russia's state-owned and private companies. These prominent scientists never ceased their efforts, continuing their activities even through economic hard times.
