Newsletter for PhD students and Postdocs

Dear PhD students and Postdocs,

As the holidays are ending, you might be eager for new information about study incentives and new opportunities for further education. So, the Newsletter for PhD students and Postdocs is getting into your hands just in time!

PhD Day 2022

You are cordially invited to the PhD Day 2022, which will be held on September 14, 2022 at 9:00 am.

The programme is designed mainly for first-year PhD students, but is also suitable for Master students. Attendees will get insights and tips for PhD students at MUNI, what to expect from studying and what to avoid. During the programme, individual cooperating faculties and institute CEITEC will present. We will be witnessing the signing ceremony of the Memorandum of Cooperation in Doctoral Studies by representatives of individual faculties. Further, you can get inspiration from presentations on mobility programmes or the Brno PhD Talent competition. We will also talk about mentoring and targeted support to early-stage researchers (ESR).

Most importantly, we have prepared a particular highlight, i.e. festive presentation of a new developmental programme for the most active PhD students - MUNI Mendel Doctorandus.

In the second part of the PhD Day, a roll-up section with refreshments will be prepared in the Campus corridor. Potential candidates can choose from individual PhD programmes or engage with their representatives.

Come to the PhD Day for more information!

The PhD Day will be in English

Date: September 14, 2022 / University Campus Bohunice

Registration is free but required!

Courses and Webinars for PhD Students

SPARK Europe Webinar

Non-Interventional Studies: building and broadening the value story

The first talk in the SPARK Europe Webinar Series will be dealing with the issue of data: “What is the utility of observational data and how does it differ from data obtained in experimental settings such as randomised controlled trials (RCTs)? Do they have any value other than optimising market access in pharmaceutical companies? Data from late-stage clinical research is not easy to collect and manage, but it can greatly improve drug development and shed light on the value of new therapies."

Don't miss the first webinar in the series (series schedule - link) and add the other webinar dates to your calendar. Under the auspices of SPARK, you can register for the 2022 Biomedical Innovation and Entrepreneurship Training Course for European Students.

Please Pay Attention to the Announcement of the Office for Doctoral Studies, Quality, Academic Affairs and Internationalization

Decisions on awarding scholarships will be delivered to students electronically via the Masaryk University Information System.

Scholarships cannot be paid until the decision becomes legally binding. The decision will become legally binding 30 days after the delivery of the decision because, according to the Higher Education Act, the student has the right to request a re-evaluation of the decision made regarding the scholarship in these 30 days. Therefore, the decision does not come into force until this period has expired.

The student can speed up the whole process of payment of the scholarship by declaring that he/she waives the right to review the decision. This declaration is part of the online "confirmation of acceptance" in IS MUNI.
