On the 4th – 6th of February 2013, on the premises of the MTF STU in Trnava, the second annual event was held called "Week of doctoral students". The main organizers and coordinators were the representatives of the internal PhD students from individual institutes. These were partnered with management institutes with the support management of the faculty who created the conditions for financial and organizational management of the three-day event.
The event was aimed at:
- improvement of informing internal PhD students of the MTF STU via presentations of workplaces and dissertations of daily PhD students in institutions,
- intensification of cooperation and good relations between students of institutes
- to create a friendly space for informal meetings.
Each day the "Week of doctoral students” consisted of a morning formal session which involved doctoral students from two workplaces of the faculty. Specialized lectures were supplemented by practical demonstrations in laboratories of individual institutes.
During the afternoons – the focus was on sports and cultural activities of students. Internal PhD students had the opportunity to meet each other whilst playing volleyball, dodge ball, football, table tennis, and other sports. There was a visit to a theatrical production "Comedy of Errors" by W. Shakespeare in the theatre of J. Palárik in Trnava. The "Week of doctoral students" ended with an evaluation during lunch on the last day of the event.
A survey was launched after the event to evaluate the level of satisfaction with official and leisure activities. This was also used for everybody to express their own views, comments and suggestions for improvement.
