The planned PhD Retreat of your PhD study program will take place on 3 - 4 November 2021 in Mohelenský mlýn and is planned for all active doctoral students of our program. At the retreat, each student is expected to introduce her/himself by brief presentation of her/his PhD project – 5 min for students in the 1st/2nd year and 15 min for students in the 3rd year and later. Your participation in the PhD Retreat is meant to be obligatory.
We would like to kindly ask you to fill in the registration form below.
(In the form, you will also find the link to the preliminary program of the PhD retreat.)
PhD supervisors and members of the PhD committee are very welcome to join. If you plan to come, please fill in the form below, too.
DEADLINE for registration: Sunday 17. 10. 2021
The PhD Retreat is intended to be an informal event. The main purpose is to build a common sense of the PhD program, to support student networking, to share methodologies, to build collaborations and to obtain feedback on your projects.
Accommodation, lunch and dinner will be provided, also some small refreshment for coffee breaks.
Breakfast will not be provided, it is meant to be arranged on your own. Also, we will be glad if you help us to make the coffee breaks more generous. If you can bring some cakes or spreads, that would be very helpful.

Placement Abroad
Placement abroad is an obligatory part of your PhD study (it is stated so in the government regulation). The required minimum is 1 month but 3+ months are preferred.
Plan your stay abroad well ahead (at least 2-3 months ahead) as you need to take care of important details – e. g. registration of your stay in IS MUNI system, arranging financial support of your stay, administrative issues regarding your work contract at MUNI, health insurance, etc.
Go through the following guiding documents and links and discuss the possibilities with your supervisor:
In Czech:

Also, see the options of financing of your stay at Centre for International Cooperation of MUNI.
Tip!:
The Faculty of Science announces a new type of scholarships for foreign stays and internships, so-called A6 scholarship: Primarily for a stay of 1 month (30 days) or longer. In justified cases, it is possible to provide a scholarship for a stay abroad of at least 14 days. The amount of the scholarship is usually CZK 1,000 – 100,000 depending on the destination country and length of stay.To some extent, the scholarship can be combined with other forms of travel support (as for example Erasmus+ program).

Writefull - a tool for checking your texts in English
PhD students of the Faculty of Science MUNI now have a tool for writing professional texts in English - the Writefull plugin.
It is an additional tool to Word and 3 other interfaces, which corrects the correctness of English and also modifies the scientific style of the text. Writefull is developed specifically for academic and non-academic researchers and students, its feedback is tailored to academic writing, and its use enhances the quality of scientific texts.
Writefull, unlike the more famous Grammarly, has the advantage that it does not store your texts, so its use is safer. Because this is relatively new software, your antivirus program may report a potential threat when you install it, but you don't have to worry about this warning.
