CEITEC and foreign research centres to introduce themselves to young scientists in Brno and attract them to international fellowships

Representatives of foreign research organisations and the Central European Institute of Technology (CEITEC) will introduce their activities to about a hundred enthusiastic people that are interested in international fellowships in Brno today. After Berlin and Paris, Brno is the third of seven cities in which representatives of scientific institutions search for successful and talented scientists during their three-month tour. Candidates are offered the opportunity to further their careers in science. The aim of “Marie Curie Actions Road Show 2012” is to introduce scientific centres in the seven participating countries; the outcome will bring about dozens of international research stays for young scientists with the financial support of the EU. CEITEC, which is the only representative from the Czech Republic, will also introduce itself together with other centres in Rome, Ankara, Bucharest and Warsaw.

The main aim of the series of information days being held under the sponsorship of the European Commission is to acquaint postgraduate students and scientists that are just beginning with job opportunities offered to them by European Marie Curie grants; representatives of the European Commission themselves will inform the individuals of particular conditions and their usage. Representatives of prestigious foreign centres and organisations (e.g. Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres) from the seven participating countries: Germany, France, Czech Republic, Italy, Turkey, Romania and Poland, are arriving in Brno today.  Almost 150 researchers of 15 nationalities took part in the two previous rounds in Berlin and Paris; 100 participants of more than 10 nationalities have registered for the Brno round. The participation of CEITEC in the Road show was arranged by the Czech Liason Office for Research and Development (CZELO) in Brussels; the Brno information day is held under the auspices of the Technology Centre ASCR and the InterBioNet project.

Scientists from CEITEC, who have succeeded in winning the Marie Curie grant in the past years, will also share their experiences in Brno today. “International fellowships are the best option for young scientists on how to begin a successful career.  I spent 7 years in total in international institutes and the experience I gained helped me start new research in our country. It is necessary for young scientists to gain international experience, which they will share with their colleagues on their return. Only through the cooperation and exchange of information with significant global institutes can we participate in the network of successful scientific centres”, claims Martin Anger, the holder of the European Marie Curie Reintegration Grant.

CEITEC’s long-term strategy is to organise exchanges and send young scientists abroad, but also to attract experienced scientists who have already managed to win recognition in international competitions to Brno. “We can provide conditions in CEITEC so that Czech scientists have somewhere to return to. In 2014 scientists will move to large, shared campuses where they will have not only a state-of-the-art infrastructure and facilities for working but they will also meet regularly with scientists from various fields. Thanks to their cooperation, individual research directions will inter-connect, which is the condition for the functioning of high-quality science abroad”, says Radimír Vrba, the Scientific Director for Advanced Materials and Technologies.
