In September 2022 we invite you to join a month-long virtual class for PhD students and researchers on “Practical Tools for Grant-Funded Research”. The class is planned as a set of webinars (22-28.09) with the follow-up of practical workshops for PhD students and young researchers using the virtual platform.

The Czech experts will provide the guidance in fulfilling the practical assignments and will cover the following topics, among others, guaranteeing the quality of your research to be funded by a European grant:

• – improving work with scientific databases and introducing the principles of scientometric. Different systems of measuring and analyzing scientific literature.
• – assessments of differences between Web of Science and Scopus based on scientometric as well as Fields of Research and Development (FORD) classification.
• – the structure of scientific work and research type eligible for grant funding.
• – the specifics of research projects: calls, management and implementation.

The asynchronous learning mode will make it easier for the participants to comprehend the materials provided by Czech experts and to apply them on practice.  The outcome of the class for each participant is planned to be a grant proposal concept, with which the learners will be encouraged to apply for the mini grants call.

NOTE: only graduates of this class can apply for mini-grants.

The best learner from each partner university will be invited to join the study tour and a Summer School in Prague in autumn 2022. All successful graduates will be awarded a certificate with relevant ECTS.

Registration is open till September 10, 2022, via: https://forms.gle/JegGVch8yzuQCAZ76
