- Postgraduate Course
in Polymer Science under the auspices and support of UNESCO (United
Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization) and IUPAC
(International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry)
has been organized
in our Institute since 1996. Over the years, about more than 70 young
researchers
from different countries participated in UNESCO/IUPAC Courses (see archive)
and
contributed
to a number of scientific projects.
- View the list
of publications authored or co-authored by Course
participants together
with researchers from IMC.
- The Course begins
on October 1 every year and lasts ten months. The program is
open
to young researchers who obtained their degrees (MS, PhD or equivalent)
in the corresponding field of science not more than five years ago. The
applicants should be under 35, preferably under 30.
- The participant of the
UNESCO/IUPAC Course joins a current research project
led by an experienced
supervisor from the Institute (for research program of the Institute,
see http://www.imc.cas.cz).
Preliminary
contact with the potential supervisor is recommended. The participant
is
obliged to attend a series of lectures
on various
topics of polymer science given by Institute specialists.
- The official language
of the Course is English; hence, good command of English is a necessary
condition for admittance.
- The participants receive
monthly scholarship of 7 300 CZK.
- In addition, the Institute
offers free accommodation in an Academy hotel (see
