The first intercultural research project from 1999/2000 was based on Hofstede's VSM 1994 questionnaire and it did not show substantial differences among the attitudes of students.
The second research project (2000/2001) was based on 33 questions concerning general attitudes to life, the position of women in society, idealist or materialist convictions of students, and their views on politics and globalization. Differences among students appeared in answers , which disclosed masculine and materialist tendencies of Czech society.
The third research project (2005/6) was conducted only at VSE. It showed growing pessimism as to the future, more optimism as to the emancipation of women in Czech society, and growing materialist tendencies and prevailing liberalism in political views.

Keywords: intercultural research of students, cultural values
