The beneficiaries selected through the competition procedure: doctoral students or young researchers employed as assistants, will have the opportunity to make short (5 days) study visits to academic staff from CIVICA universities. These visits will also be attended by supervisors/assistant supervisors or supervisors supporting the scientific development of the beneficiaries, if justified in terms of content. The purpose of the visits will be to analyse the research plans, individual parts of the doctoral theses, to gain unique knowledge from CIVICA teachers with specific competences, leading to an increase in the level of the resulting theses, to be able to present their own research results and to get feedback on them. In order to maximise the benefits of the mobility, the supervisor is obliged to prepare a mobility plan together with the beneficiary and to supervise the beneficiary's description of the research carried out, which will be handed over to the hosting CIVICA teacher as preliminary material before the mobility. Beneficiaries will be supported by assignment supervisors whose role will be to:
(1) to set the recruitment rules and conduct it in a way that optimises the added value of the mobility,
(2) supporting doctoral students and their supervisors in establishing contacts with CIVICA researchers with particularly high competences from the perspective of the particular research work,
(3) verification of the conduct of the visits, potentially through participation in selected ones,
(4) Potential networking and expansion of scientific contacts to establish/expand research and teaching cooperation between SGH and CIVICA universities,
(5) substantive verification of the mobility outcomes achieved.
The beneficiaries will be able to take part in mobility, depending on their needs, up to two times with the same or two different academic teachers, at different stages of their research work, which will enable support at an early stage of the thesis preparation, especially important in the case of persons with less research experience or needing support at the concept development stage, and later verification and substantive support at the thesis. It is acceptable that some of the participants in the assignment will be young postdoctoral researchers at SGH working on their habilitation, but priority in the assignment will be given to PhD students. In the case of employees with a doctoral degree, the role of a mentor benefiting from the mobility of a young employee may be fulfilled by an academic teacher supervising his/her development - e.g. a direct superior, supervisor or another person fulfilling the role of a mentor. The realisation of the task fosters the project's objective in the form of substantive support for persons preparing doctoral dissertations (or habilitation dissertations) of a particularly high substantive level, as well as influencing the development of cooperation with CIVICA universities in terms of conducting scientific research and increasing the quality of education due to solutions developed within the framework of partnerships.
The regulations and timetable for the recruitment of participants for short-term study visits to CIVICA universities will be published in the coming weeks.
