Research

Measures for further research development

Internationalisation and International Cooperation
- Building international partnerships and networks (Horizon EU, MSCA, Erasmus+, ...)
- International internships for academics and Ph.D. candidates
- Expanding the number of international postdocs
- Establishment of new junior research groups led by PIs with significant international experience
Mission and Research Strategy
- Setting faculty research strategy
- Strong orientation toward applied research
- Convergence of the mission of MED MUNI and university hospitals → mutual cooperation and support of excellent science, basic and applied research, revision of strategic research topics
- Precision medicine → linking clinical and preclinical research, interdisciplinary cooperation
Regular Research Evaluation
- Setting strategy, annual targets and milestones
- Evaluation of departments and research groups
- Evaluation of the prepared and realised grants
Conditions for Excellent Research
- Individual grant support
- The concept of "clinical scientist" with clearly defined rules for research activities in clinics
- Creation of a position system → distribution of teaching/research/clinic workload)
- Establishment of a centralized biobank system - support for the creation of clinical cohorts
- Establishment of the preclinical center
- Support for the creation of "research assistant" positions in clinical disciplines
- Support for greater use of CZECRIN infrastructure - clinical trials phase I
- Strengthening the use of CEITEC research infrastructure

Doctoral Studies

Measures for further doctoral studies development

Organisation and Quality
- Regular evaluation of doctoral degree programmes
- Supervisor is not a member of the thesis defense committee
- Considering the viability and reorganisation of some programmes
- Establishment of a Ph.D. school: centralised coordination of degree programmes, admission procedure and topics
- Career tracking of the Ph.D. graduates
Strengthening the scientific dimension of Ph.D.
- Compulsory course in ethics, academic integrity and applied research
- Development of grant skills of Ph.D. candidates
- Ph.D. candidates as young scientists and valid team members
- Thesis topics in excellent scientific areas
- Interdisciplinarity of thesis topics (collaboration of theoretical and clinical departments and with other MUNI faculties)
Internationalisation
- Core courses in English
- Support for internships abroad
- Increasing number of international Ph.D. candidates
- Thesis in English
- Increasing number of international supervisors
Systematic work with supervisors
- System of support
- Regular evaluation of the supervisor´s activities
- Maximum 5 students per supervisor
- Training of new and experienced supervisors
- Faculty supervisor´s standard with recommendations and good practice
Drop-out reduction
- Root cause analysis
- Onboarding of new students
- Education and widening of good practice
- Faculty standards of Ph.D. candidates
- Strengthening control mechanisms: Thesis Advisory Committee, mentoring, annual progress report conference
- "Half-time clinical PhD" concept and dedicated research time in parallel with specialisation training
