Mobility - Internship abroad
MOBILITY - INTERNSHIPS ABROAD
Based on government regulation No. 274/2016 Coll., completion of a stay or an internship abroad in the total length of at least one month (i. e. 30 days; may consist of several shorter stays) is a compulsory part of doctoral studies.
Writing a report as described below is a mandatory part of each internship.
You can use the existing networks of partner institutions of your Faculty or establish contact with a new lab of your choice. Do not hesitate to approach even the most renowned institutions in your particular area of interest - you may be surprised how open they are to collaboration. Alternatively, ask your supervisor or group leader for current options for your internship abroad.
