Ahoj, rádi bychom víc propojili naše a další PhD studenty v ramci zarodku "PhD school' kterou bychom radi koncipovali jako prostor pro setkavani a kritickou diskuzi mezi PhD studenty. Blizsi info od Clementa nize. Z mnoha jinych instituci vime ze to funguje dobre dovnitr (studenti se lip poznaji, lepe interaguji a lepe se zaclenuji) i ven (dobri studenti hledaji pracoviste s dobrou PhD school). Primarne to koncipujeme pro PhD prvaky a druhaky, ale zvani jsou vsichni, oborove to bude dost siroke obecne evolucni s presahem do molekularni biologie i ekologie.

Bude to zaštítěno SISovskym kurzem MB120C126. Pokud mate ted nastupujici prvaky davame ke zvazeni zaradit jim tento kurz i do ISP, studenti pak tomu daji prioritu  a odnesou si z toho nejvice. Samozrejme je mozne navstevovat i mimo curriculum.

Prosim klidne volne sirte mezi sve studenty popr. dalsi kolegy -skolitele, ktere by to mohlo zajimat

Diky a hezky den

Filip (za tym organizatoru)

Dear colleagues and students,

Doing a PhD is a hard and stressful job, requiring not only expert knowledge, but also training in science-unrelated skills (project management, public speaking...), and a sense of belonging and peers to talk to. This is the reason why many countries created a structure, PhD schools, to support students and provide them with education taylored for PhD students and peer-networking providing students with a "cohort" feeling. Unfortunately, there is no such a structure in Charles University yet.

As a first step towards this structure, we are opening a biology PhD School pilot, in the form of a course in SIS that any PhD student can enroll in. The course code is MB120C126, you can see it here: https://is.cuni.cz/studium/eng/predmety/index.php?do=predmet&kod=MB120C126&dlpar=YToxOntzOjg6InByZWRtZXR5IjthOjE6e3M6Mzoic2tyIjtzOjQ6IjIwMjMiO319 .

The program includes meetings once a month for the whole school year. Each meeting will have:

- presentation by and for students and discussion mediated by students (no PI).

- soft skill education dedicated to PhD students issues (time management, presentation, conflict solving... for the full program see SIS)

- finishing with informal mingling with drinks and snacks

On top of these monthly meetings, the PhD school will propose:

- ad hoc methodological workshops

- a yearly weekend retreat involving further soft skill training and social bonding activities

We (Matyas Fendrych, Filip Kolar and I) will provide the logistic and administrative support, and create a space for PhD students to peer-learn and network. We imagine this will provide some support for PhD students to get inspired, get the tools to maintain mental health balance, and to navigate the academia world more easily.

@PhD students: the enrollment in SIS opens on the 16th of August!

@everyone: We appreciate any help spreading the word outside our departments of Botany/KEBR!

All the best,

Mates, Filip & Clément
