Today I attended the Professorial Appointments meeting as a member of the Habilitation and Scientific Board at Masaryk University, Czech Republic. I have been working with them for some years now, and it has been a great pleasure!
I joined this meeting online. There were about 12 of us online, and a similar number of staff on site. Most of the meeting was carried out in Czech, so I had no idea, but this was completely new experience for me, I had fun.
Each candidate gave a lecture about their research, and committee members ask questions. Presenters were well-prepared, using nicely designed slides. Even through my laptop, I felt formality of the meeting. I was sending warm mental messages to the presenters.
With Masaryk University, we have published these papers and offered guest lectures about them.
Great university with friendly staff. Hope this relationship will grow further (and visit them somne day)!
