We would like to share the great news from the Brno PhD Talent Competition, which already knows its winners. In this year's competition, in which SCI MUNI has traditionally had a great success rate, 12 of our PhD students out of 130 registered students succeeded.
The competition is aimed at students in the first year of doctoral studies carried out in the city of Brno. Its main goal is to support young scientists in their study and scientific endeavours.
An expert jury selects the most interesting scientific achievements from the submitted projects for the final round. In the final round, the competitor's task is to briefly present his/her project and the results of his/her studies so far in the best possible way and convince the jury that his/her project deserves to win a special scholarship. This year 25 contestants won this scholarship, of which an impressive 12 were from the Faculty of Science! The City of Brno will fund each of them for three years with a special scholarship in the total amount of 300,000 CZK.
Awarded students of MUNI SCI : Daniel Pluskal, Eliška Řehůřková, Jana Kružlicová, David Zimčík, Siarhei Paliavoi, Hana Faldynová, Dorota Sklenárová, Lucie Nepovímová, Thomas Fellmeth, Tereza Šošolíková, Péter Kacz, Kateřina Hrůzová.
Congratulations to the winners from our faculty, and we wish them that success in this competition is just the first of a long series of successes they will achieve in their scientific careers!
