PhD Retreat 2022

The PhD Retreat 2022 was held in Telč on 19th-20th September. The event connected doctoral students of the Life Sciences and Advanced Materials and Nanosciences programs. The two-day program was full of inspiration, innovative ideas, establishing new contacts and awards for the best lectures or scientific posters.

A total of 38 student participants had the opportunity to absorb new knowledge from the lecturers and participate in discussions on research topics presented by a total of six invited experts. The list of speakers included ERC grant holders, heads of research groups and a graduate of the doctoral program. Researchers from CEITEC arrived in Telč to meet the students, including Eric Glowacki, an expert in bioelectronic systems, Jan Macák, who focuses on low-dimensional nanomaterials, Lenka Zajíčková, an expert in plasma technologies, Gabriel Demo, who deals with the structural biology of coupled transcription and translation, and also Andrew Miller from the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at MENDELU. Jiří Sedmík, a relatively recent graduate of the Life Sciences PhD program, gave his lecture to the students. Students themselves were also active. A total of 18 of them chose to present their scientific work in the form of a lecture, and another 20 students preferred the form of a scientific poster.
