Being that I am from Slovakia and was just there for the Slovak Startup Awards , there is no way that this post could be considered impartial. This is one hell of a biased post so let me get that out of the way right off the bat. But so be it. . Having spent the past 2,5 days in Bratislava to attend the awards show as a jury member, I had the opportunity to get around a bit in town.mostly for meetings. Nevertheless, I had some coffee and food at Foxford and Urban.

Most people at this point know that I am originally from Slovakia. I basically chose almost from the point where I moved to Europe back in the 90's to figure out a way to "work" in Slovakia. . So much has happened over the years in Slovakia.

Additonally, all the sponsors spoke on stage about what they are doing in the CEE region and I moderated a panel of investors and an entrepreneur from Slovakia. The final keynote was the Minister of Economics from Slovakia, Dr. Juraj Miskov, who unfortunately was the only participant to speak in Slovak instead of English. I was recently asked to moderate the Slovak Start-Up Awards in Bratislava, which I gladly agreed to do.

PhD production sped up most dramatically in Mexico, Portugal, Italy and Slovakia. Interesting piece on the ‘economics’ of PhD education/production/labor from the Economist Magazine (h/t Joshua Kim @ Inside Higher Ed). Lots of good information. In my mind it highlights to person utility that is wrapped up in the quest for a PhD. For most of history even a first degree at a university was the privilege of a rich few, and many academic staff did not hold doctorates.
