Although the launch of the new program for active PhD students took place during the PhD day on September 14, 2022, we now had the opportunity to meet the newly enrolled students of the MMD programme face to face for the first time. The meeting took place on October 25, 2022, in the outdoor area of the Bohunice University Campus and was held in a casual and relaxed atmosphere. Accepted students from the MMD programme were personally welcomed by the Vice Dean for Doctoral Studies of the Faculty of Science, Prof. Luděk Bláha and other representatives of the University. The improvement of PhD education was also supported personally by prof. Tomáš Kašparovský, dean of the Faculty of Science. During the afternoon “kick-off Aperó” we could celebrate together successful start of the MMD programme.
A total of 45 students from all cooperating faculties and CEITEC Institute applied for the programme, and 43 students were accepted.
Most students applied for the programme from the Faculty of Science, which we are delighted about. We see this as a clear indicator that the students of the Faculty of Science are very active and interested in their studies beyond the regular standards.
Further applicants to the MUNI Mendel Doctorandus programme will have the opportunity to apply during January 2023.
On September 25, 2024, the Faculty of Science of Masaryk University held a traditional event supporting and informing the PhD students - MUNI SCI PhD Day 2024. The programme included a healthy breakfast, an introduction to PhD studies and a range of inspiring presentations about mobility programmes, career paths and benefits during doctoral studies.
Dean Tomáš Kašparovský has presented awards to the best students of the MU Faculty of Science. This year’s Dean’s Awards were presented to a total of ten laureates in the Best Student category in a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree programme, and to eleven promising scientists in the Best Student category of the Doctoral study programme. Moreover, the award was also presented to three teams of fourteen outstanding students of the pregraduate and postgraduate programmes. Congratulations to all the winners!
