EURAXESS Czech Republic

We’d love to invite you to a special brunch for female researchers who live and work in science in the Czech Republic.
Come and hear the inspiring story of Phuong Ngoc Pham, researcher at BIOCEV, and her journey through Czech science. We’ll also have plenty of time to share our own experiences — what we enjoy about working and living in the Czech Republic, as well as the things that challenge or concern us.

Our aim is to create a relaxed, open, and safe space where we can talk honestly, listen to one another, and hopefully discover that some of the things we’re navigating are more widely shared than we might think.
Registration is required and is available here: https://www.euraxess.cz/czech-republic/events/brunch-women-science

We’d be very happy to see you there!

The more I travel, the more I appreciate the beauty of my native language – Czech. I admire all brave people who decide, or are forced, to live in a different country. From my own experience, I believe that language is a necessary tool for exploring other cultures. Therefore, I am happy to help and be a patient language guide for foreigners living in the Czech Republic.

Today, we commemorate the anniversary of the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia on 21 August 1968.
We remember a time when the sovereignty of our country was violated and the aspirations for greater freedom were forcibly suppressed. Remembering this history is important not only to honor those who lived through it, but also to recognize the value of the freedoms we enjoy today.
At EURAXESS, we support a world in which researchers are free to move, collaborate, exchange ideas, and pursue knowledge across borders. These opportunities are made possible by democratic societies, mutual respect, and international cooperation.
As Researchers in Motion, we remember that academic freedom, freedom of movement, and freedom of thought should never be taken for granted.
Today, we honor the past and reaffirm our commitment to freedom, democracy, and respect for national sovereignty.

🥒 Why is summer called the "cucumber season" in the Czech Republic?
Back in the day, newspapers had very little to report during the summer months. Politicians were on holiday, businesses slowed down, and journalists were left writing about... well, cucumbers.
Fast forward to today, and while some industries may experience a seasonal slowdown, we know one thing for sure:
✅ Experiments don't know it's summer.
✅ Reviewer comments never take a vacation.
✅ Great discoveries don't wait for September.
So, whether you're collecting data in the field, writing your next publication, preparing a grant proposal, or enjoying a well-deserved break, we're here to support your journey.
Happy cucumber season! 🥒☀️

European students are on holiday, but their schedules look completely different depending on where they live!

14 weeks of summer or well-spaced mini-breaks? ☀️

European students are on holiday, but their schedules look completely different depending on where they live!

In Italy, students get roughly 14 weeks away from their desks during the summer. Up in Denmark, summer lasts about 6 weeks, but school breaks are spread out more evenly across the entire year.

If you could design the school calendar, which option would you choose?

The Italian model: a grand summer marathon

The Danish model: short summer, steady breaks all year
