Wed, 10/24/2012 - 12:00 to 13:30
When the Central European University opened its gates in Prague and Budapest in the early 1990s, George Soros was already the uncontested ‘stateman without a state’ he is known as today. For about a decade, he had cultivated a vast regional network among intellectuals, scholars, dissidents, old and new leaders. Together they sought to facilitate the transformations in Eastern Europe, and CEU aspired to become ‘the’ educational institution for coming generations in the region.
