PhD Day
MUNI SCI PhD Day: The First Step on the PhD Journey
What can you expect when embarking on a PhD? Where can you find opportunities, support, and practical information that may prove useful throughout your PhD? These were among the questions explored at this year's MUNI SCI PhD Day at the Faculty of Science, Masaryk University.
The event, aimed primarily at first-year PhD candidates and Master's students considering a PhD, offered an overview of the opportunities and support available throughout a PhD programme. Participants learned more about career development, grants, mobility opportunities, and faculty and university support services. There was also plenty of space for networking and sharing experiences.
One example of how PhD Day can help shape future steps is Maja Klimentić. She attended her first PhD Day as a first-year PhD candidate. Inspired by the opportunities presented at the event, she later joined MUNI Mendel Doctorandus (MMD), a programme for talented PhD candidates that supports their development beyond their own research. “At my first PhD Day, I came across several opportunities I had not known about before. It was there that I first learned about activities and programmes that I later took advantage of during my PhD,” explains Maja.
This year, she returned to PhD Day as a more experienced PhD candidate, sharing her own experiences with those who are just beginning their PhD.
PhD Day showed that a PhD is about more than research. It also offers a wide range of opportunities provided by the faculty and university—opportunities that are well worth exploring and making the most of.
