● The main goal of this subject is to teach students new skills which will help them successfully finish their PhD. study, and prepare them for academic and research activities as well as pedagogical work and practice. With regard to the type and aim of their study program, students will gain popularization skills connected to publishing activities for the wider public, and will also develop the ability to perform and act in public. The subject is co-organized with the Institute of Philosophy of the Czech Academy of Sciences based on the agreement between this institution and the Pedagogical faculty of Charles University. The student will consult the grant application, the scientific article, and the popularization outlet with a tutor. These three items are necessary to fulfil within "Publications".
