What are the essential transferable skills of a PhD student? You can find the answer in various articles and websites such as academicpositions, findaphd, or cheekyscientist.
The European Research Framework definition of the R1 Researcher highlights (besides the research domain skills): critical thinking, ability to explain the outcome of the research, integrated language, communication and environment skills, especially in an international context.
To gain such skills, there are many educational opportunities offered to PhD students at our University. Below, we provide an overview of courses, events, and dedicated departments.
Not to miss a good event, you can also regularly check our news and events calendar where we post for you tips for courses or workshops offered by the University, research institutions or external subjects to doctoral students.

“Our goal is to come up with a model originating in stem cells, which we refer to as induced pluripotent stem cells. Using small molecules referred to as signal molecules we attempt to reprogram the cells into Leydig cells which are responsible for the production of testosterone. Testosterone and other androgens have an irreplaceable role in processes related to male reproduction, as well as other processes. Chemicals present in the environment may disrupt the process of production of androgens. Once we have the newly programmed Leydig cells we will be able to test the effects of the environmental pollutants on male reproduction. Our cell model could very much replicate the actual processes in the human body, compared with other conventional methods, such as animal or rodent testing,” Řehůřková explains. She currently works at RECETOX where, for 40 years, scientists have studied environmental and health risks posed by chemicals around us. Whole article.
