University Doctoral School

The University Doctoral School centrally provides education of doctoral students through a series of lectures and seminars, where examples of good practice in terms of ethics of scientific work, text production, citations, academic writing, etc. are presented to students of doctoral study programmes.

The University Doctoral School aims to increase the knowledge and skills of doctoral students and to improve the quality of final doctoral theses.

1. Three day seminars

Three days seminars are held twice a year off the TUL campus, usually in April and November. They are primarily intended for first-year PhD students, but upper-year students may also attend. A student can attend an off-site seminar only once.

The seminars focus on ethical issues in scientific work, practical skills in writing scientific documents and publications, research, the publication process and the issue of choosing the appropriate journal according to the focus of the work.

📅 Next Date: 12–14 November 2025
📍 Venue: Hotel Břízky, Jablonec nad Nisou

We are delighted to invite you to the traditional Three-days Seminars for PhD Students of TUL, this time offering a diverse and attractive programme!
👉 This year, participation is also open to those who have already attended the seminars in previous years.

Look forward to three days full of inspiration, new contacts, and exciting experiences in the welcoming environment of Hotel Břízky.
