The event " Doctoral student's Week " was
held during the 30th of
January till the 3rd of February 2012. The coordinator of the event
was the Vice-Dean for the third stage of study, doc. Schreiber. The preparation
and organization of the event involved the help from student representatives of
all institutions' PhD faculties. The collaboration created conditions that were
spatial, financial and easy to handle during the several days event.
The main objective of this event was
- to allow PhD students to express opinions on the organization of doctoral studies at the MTF,
- to enable doctoral students of other institutes of the faculty to present their work and present their own professional activity,
- to establish or expand cooperation between graduates from various institutions and
- to make room for friendly informal meetings
Each of the five-days of the event consisted of an official part during the morning, in which PhD students presented one or two workplaces of the faculty.
Lectures were alternated with their own humorous film sequences of student life, practical demonstrations in laboratories and technical information about the focus of work which overlapped with interactive games with the audience while explaining some of the procedures and methods used or tested in study.
The unofficial part of the afternoon was entirely directed towards learners. You could design, prepare and provide organizational support for a faculty program. During the week one could attend a disco, film or sports afternoon, a visit to the Trnava company Elesco for an inspection of the Modra wine cellars together with wine tasting.
