PhD Programme

Social life at the IMG

Graduate students at the IMG organize (ir)regular parties. In addition, once a year they organize a student conference where they present their work and usually invite 1-2 recognized scientists as keynote speakers. Additional information on PhD conferences is available on special webpage (PhD conference).

In October, the first year students are invited to “a welcome weekend”, where they meet their peers, get an overview about the Institute, PhD studies and what they should do to successfully finish in time. In addition, there are lectures and practical training on paper and grant reviewing and writing.

Life in Prague
