Training - Gender Biases Against Women
As part of Gender Equality Plan MU (GEP), a training session focused on the issue of gender stereotypes.
The HR Award team at SCI MUNI is contributing to the development of a personnel strategy for the research centers of three partner institutions as part of the Central European Platform for Plasma-enabled Surface Engineering (COLOSSE) project. This project connects Masaryk University (Ceplant center), the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen, and Comenius University in Bratislava. The aim of the personnel strategy being developed is to support international recruitment, onboarding, and development of researchers in accordance with the European Charter and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers.
In April 2024, a two-day kick-off meeting for the Horizon Europe COLOSSE project took place at the Dean's Office of the Faculty of Science, Masaryk University. The project is funded by the Pathways to Synergies 2023 call (Horizon Europe). COLOSSE connects Czech and Slovak research institutions in the field of plasma surface engineering, enhancing their potential for Horizon Europe and future EU research and innovation programs.
Representatives from all three partner research institutions attended the initial workshop. At Masaryk University, the project is being led by Professor Petr Vašina and his team, which includes the Department of Plasma Physics and Technology at the Faculty of Science and the Ceplant center, along with representatives from the RMU Grant Office and HR Award Office members, Barbora Wahlová and Zuzana Hrabovská. Their task in the area of personnel strategy is to map recruitment, onboarding, and development processes across all three partner institutions and create a comprehensive strategy aligned with the principles of the European Charter and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers. This strategy will enable the project to successfully attract, recruit, onboard, integrate, and develop high-quality postdoctoral researchers from abroad.

In May 2024, we launched an analytical phase of the project "Introducing a Flexible Working Culture and a Support System for Parents on Maternity and Parental Leave into the Working Environment of the MU Faculty of Science" as part of the Employment Plus Operational Programme (OPZ+). This phase includes a gender equality audit, featuring structured individual and group interviews with our employees, led by an auditor.
