Beyond Memorising Theory: Discover How NEWTON University Teaches to the Highest International Standards

Together with our Master’s students in the Economics and Sustainable Management programme at NEWTON University, we held our second hands-on field workshop as part of the summer semester. The goal was to introduce local entrepreneurs and curators who are successfully building their brands on ethical and ecological values.

The world of work is changing faster than university curricula. Higher education institutions are under growing pressure to prepare students for a reality that cannot be fully captured in textbooks or lecture halls. Experts agree that without a strong and systematic link to practice, quality education is no longer possible.

The debate over taxing soft drinks and other sugary drinks has returned to the spotlight in Czechia. But simply raising prices across the board is unlikely to deliver the desired results. Experience from across Europe shows that success comes down to a well-designed tax system. Experts from NEWTON University analysed policies in seven European countries and propose a progressive three-tier model for the Czech Republic. Find out why the UK has been successful in tackling obesity, where Hungary's approach fell short, and what a new tax system could look like in Czechia.
