About project
Project: Young researchers - educate, discover, prove and apply in environmental sciences
Registration number: NF-CZ07-ICP-3-242-2015
Start of the project: 01.09.2015
End of the project: 31.07.2016
Supported by a grant from Norway through the Norwegian Financial Mechanism (CZ07 - Scholarship Programme and Bilateral Scholarship Programme)
The main goals of the project are support young researchers, developing their potential by giving them the opportunity to share new experience and knowledge with academic and research staff from abroad, strengthening cooperation of Masaryk University (MU) using infrastructure of the Research Centre for Toxic Compounds in the Environment (RECETOX) and the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU) and linking the scientific teams of both institutions within a very interesting field of environmental chemistry and ecotoxicology.
The project is focused on young researchers because there is a lack of opportunities and funding aimed at further career development of young scientists who are not eligible for submitting grant proposals and cannot therefore prove their competences of independent work on national research projects.
Both university institutions have complementary scientific and educational profiles and provide an expanded academic platform for the exchange stays of young scientists on PhD and postdoctorate level. The short term bilateral research visits should enable young scientists to build international contacts and networks, to
exchange experience on practical field and laboratory issues, as well as to transfer important “soft-skills“ like
effective supervision of master and doctoral students, building of functional research teams and dissemination of results in scientific community and their communication to general public and public
administration. The mutual exchange stays allow complex collaborative investigation of contaminants in aquatic, air and biological samples as well as joint chemical-biological assessment and prioritization of chemicals and hot-spot sites.
The education of young researchers is supported by organizing seminars involving invited guests (experts in the topic, colleagues from related disciplines, risk assessors etc.).
Training visits of project managers create an important part of the project. The aim of this actvity is to gain new experiences and to exchange them with administrative staff within systems of project support at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences, both in national and international research programmes. This opportunity enables project staff at MU to improve their skills in project management, to build up new contacts or to start collaboration with colleagues from the partner university.
