Adopting a questioning approach in research methodology, based on interrogations such as „How the economic crisis has affected the Higher Education market in Emerging Europe?”, „How much the European Union regulations in the field of student fees, ante, during and post-crisis time affecting the employment market and equitable access at fair education in emerging European countries?”, this paper aims to present some elements of what the specialist calling „the academic market” in pre-crisis and post-crisis time in countries of Emerging Europe, in order to prove (argued by some causal relationship) that the effects of financial crisis affecting the academic market in a differentiated manner. On one hand it focuses on the effects of the economic and financial crisis, in diachronic perspective (ante, during and post-crisis). On the other hand it analyses, based on official data, the post-crisis reality of the links between student fees and financial support from government authorities. The purpose is to understand certain relationships between academic and economic environment of Central and Eastern Europe, more accurate the effects of the financial and economic crisis on higher education systems from these countries and to highlight the need to adapt to new options and trends by appropriate strategies for rethinking higher education systems in the European emerging academic markes.
