Brno Ph.D. Competition Talent continues with higher support from the city

ScienceSmart Brno

Since 2009, the competition has been rewarding promising students of Brno’s natural sciences and technical fields. The city’s subsidy has now increased to CZK 9 million. Each of the 25 future award-winning students will receive CZK 360,000, which they will use for their research activities over 36 months. The main goal of the Brno Ph.D. Scholarship is to provide a unique opportunity for research and development. Talent is for talented students to successfully complete their doctoral studies and continue their research thanks to the city’s financial support.

The scholarship will enable PhD students to fully focus on university activities and use this experience in their future work for Brno scientific institutions. Young scientists can also develop their skills in strategic management and strengthen their ties to the region. During 13 competitive years, approximately 70 percent of the supported PhD students out of the hundreds of scholarship holders, have remained in Brno in scientific positions.
