Events and Initiatives
In this section, you find other relevant events and initiatives related to support career and professional development and support the scientific community. These are as follows:
Life After PhD
This is a top-rated event series that aims to showcase PhD holders who took various career paths. It is a great opportunity for junior researchers to meet with inspiring personalities and listen to their interesting life stories, and ask career-related questions. CEITEC MU strives to provide a balance between academic and non-academic careers and to select inspiring personalities who could motivate students and junior researchers to maintain a positive outlook on the difficult scientific career journey.
Event frequency: 4x per year
Company Visits
It is a relatively new initiative of the Research and Innovations Support Department, which allows early-stage researchers (PhD students, postdocs) to visit companies. The company representatives provide an overview of the company – research, structure, mission etc. Then it is a great opportunity to see company premises and discuss the possibility of collaboration and career options. For the early-stage researchers could be beneficial to know the industrial environment for their career paths.
Event frequency: 1-2x per year
CEITEC PhD Conference
The conference program included presentations of research results of 4th-year students and posters of 3rd-year students. This conference was a great opportunity to present the results of research (development of presentation skills) and get feedback from the scientific community.
Event frequency: 1x per year
