Habilitation and Scientific Board at Masaryk University

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.

• Mental Well-Being of Czech University Students: Academic Motivation, Self-Compassion, and Self-Criticism

• Mental Health of Czech University Psychology Students: Negative Mental Health Attitudes, Mental Health Shame and Self-Compassion

• From Stress to Psychopathology: Relationship with Self-Reassurance and Self-Criticism in Czech University Students

Great university with friendly staff. Hope this relationship will grow further (and visit them somne day)!
