The event highlighted practical steps for improving publication outcomes and crafting successful project applications, offering attendees actionable strategies to enhance their research endeavours.
A key feature of the seminar was a comparison of Finnish and Czech research evaluation systems. This cross-national perspective provided valuable insights into differing approaches to scientific assessment, inspiring participants to reflect on ways to optimize their own research frameworks.
The seminar welcomed not only researchers from the core CENTREPEACE team but also faculty members. While the primary focus of CENTREPEACE is security collaboration, the event demonstrated its commitment to broader academic engagement, encouraging dialogue and connections across diverse topics.
In addition to practical knowledge, the seminar opened new avenues for collaboration and shared research prospects. This exchange underscored the importance of building networks that extend beyond immediate research priorities, creating a platform for lasting academic relationships and innovative projects.
Masaryk University welcomed academic writing expert Lynn Nygaard, who led an intensive workshop on publishing in peer-reviewed journals. The course offered valuable advice to PhD students and young scholars and helped them improve their publishing strategies.
