On the 31st of May 2025, on a Saturday afternoon, we took a guided tour with our international researchers and students around the city district of Karlín, which used to be a well-developed industrial outskirts of Prague in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Over the last 40 years, it has undergone a large transformation. Many of the outdated manufacturing plants have ceased production, and new houses serving both residential and business purposes have been built on the sites of brownfields. However, historically valuable buildings built in Baroque or Art Nouveau style were preserved.
After catastrophic floods in 2002, this Prague district paradoxically became a sought-after area for developers, who built entire new complexes of interesting and architecturally acclaimed buildings here.
We started our tour at the metro station Invalidovna, which is named after the Baroque complex of buildings designed and built by Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer in 1731-1737, modeled after the Hôtel des Invalides in Paris for war invalids. Since 2017, it has been protected as a national cultural monument.
We toured a new apartment complex that attracts attention with a giant steel statue of the mystic woman Lilith by sculptor David Černý. We continued to Lyčkovo náměstí with wonderful Art Nouveau apartment houses and an adorable building housing primary school and kindergarte. The building is dated to 1904, there are interesting frescoes on the facade symbolizing historical scenes and traditions of schooling.
We planned to visit the Church of St. Cyril and Methodius, but due to the approaching rain and storm, we took shelter in the new building of the Czech Kooperativa insurance company and visited its gallery with an exhibition of paintings by Czech artists of the early 20th century, while enjoying some coffee and sweets.
After the storm passed, we continued to the Rohan Embankment, where we spoke about the historical railway Negrelli Viaduct, the longest railway bridge in Prague, crossing the river. It was built in the mid-19th century and is still in use today. We crossed the river Vltava on the footbridge HolKa, with a view of the river, the island Štvanice, and a panorama of Prague Castle.
We enjoyed this tour!
IG novinkaPaid internship in the University Hospital Carl Gustav Carus, TU Dresden.
Opportunity that may be of interest to VŠCHT students!
Researcher (PhD student) Karina Amineva, have recently been awarded the DZKJ Young Scientist Grant, which includes funding for a student assistant position in our lab at the University Hospital Carl Gustav Carus, TU Dresden. The position is compensated with approximately 556 EUR per month and can be combined with a Master’s or Bachelor’s thesis project. Additionally, accommodation can be arranged in the Universitätsklinikum guest house, where a furnished room is available starting from 211,04 EUR per month (https://www.uniklinikum-dresden.de/de/patienten-und-besucher/data/flyer-mit-lageplan_haus-70.pdf).
IMPORTANAT NOTE FROM VŠCHT:
There is possibility for the student to apply for additional Erasmus+ internship support. Please contact outgoing@vscht.cz , in case you are selected for the position!!!!
Currently, this position is held by my Master’s student Paula from Spain, who will be graduating and returning home in August. Therefore, we are now looking for a motivated student to continue the work. I thought of contacting you first before announcing the position on the TU Dresden portal, as I am deeply grateful for all the exchange opportunities I received during my studies at VŠCHT and would love to offer this opportunity to a fellow student from Prague.
The selected student will assist in a translational research project focused on improving the culture system for human thymic allografts—used as a curative therapy for children with congenital athymia, such as in complete DiGeorge syndrome. Specifically, the student will support the development and testing of starPEG-heparin cryogels loaded with the chemokine CCL21, which we hypothesize will enhance T cell depletion from thymic tissue prior to transplantation. The project includes hands-on experience with ELISA, cryogel preparation, and chemotaxis assays using pediatric thymocytes.
The position would be well suited for a Bachelor's student with at least some laboratory experience or a Master's student. The minimum required skill is basic pipetting; most of the remaining techniques can be learned during the internship. Some prior knowledge of ELISA would be beneficial but is by no means essential. The most important quality we are looking for is a strong motivation and willingness to learn.
The internship is planned to start on September 1st, 2025, and unfortunately, the dates are not flexible (01.09.2025 – 31.12.2025).
Please feel free to share this opportunity with any students who might be interested. Karina would be happy to provide more details or answer any questions they may have.
For the application, we kindly ask interested students to submit a CV and a Certificate of Enrollment. Please also note that, since our lab is based in the children's hospital (Kinderklinikum), the student will need to have complete vaccinations (please find the list attached) and provide a Certificate of Good Conduct.

On Saturday, May 3, 2025, group of international researchers and students from the UCT Prague gathered for a guided tour of several historically significant sites in Pragu 2 - New Town. The group met at the entrance of the historical building of the Czech Technical University in Prague at Charles Square, in the beautiful entrance hall where the Foucault pendulum swings.
Our guide introduced them to the history, which dates back to the early 17th century, of the Czech Polytechnic, from which today´s CTU and UCT Prague originated.
Then we went to the nearby Church of Sts. Cyril and Methodius and we visited the Crypt in Resslova Street, where Czech paratroopers who assassinated Reich Protector R. Heydrich during WWII were hidden.
We visited another interesting place the Emmaus Monastery with a history dating back to the 14th century , which was founded by Bohemian King Charles IV. Participants of the walk were introduced to the history of this significant site.
Finally, we walked past Faust's house a historical building with fascinating legends and stories and finished the walk in the botanic garden Na Slupi, which was full of colourful flowering rhododendrons.
The event was a wonderful opportunity for participants to explore Prague's rich history and culture while fostering connections within the academic community.

On Friday afternoon, 20 September 2024, a group of about thirty international students and researchers from UCT Prague visited Troja Chateau, located on the right bank of the Vltava River, below St. Clare's Vineyard and next to Prague Zoo.
The weather was fine, the sun was shining and it was no longer hot, so in addition to the amazing interiors of the chateau, we also visited the chateau garden. The tour ended with a group photo on the baroque staircase of the chateau.
We were guided through the history of the chateau by the brilliant guide Martin Bělohradský.
As the floodwaters of the Vltava had receded, we crossed to the other side of the river and walked through the Stromovka Park.

Our walk began on the hill near our university, at the little church of St Matthias, whose foundations were laid here in the 15th century. At that time, the area was already inhabited by farmsteads and the hillside was planted with vines.
In the inter-war period of the 20th century, a residential area was built here, with villas designed in the new architectural style of Functionalism. Important architects of the time were involved in the designs and the owners of the villas were people from the upper classes of society.
We walked to a beautiful viewpoint at the ruins of Baba, where there used to be a house where the harvested grapes were pressed. From here we enjoyed a beautiful view of the Vltava River and Císařský ostrov, where the new Prague sewage treatment plant is located. On the other bank of the Vltava we observed the animal enclosures of the Prague Zoo. We also had a beautiful view of St. Vitus Cathedral at Prague Castle and the city skyline.
Our guide Mr. Martin Bělohradský told us many interesting facts about this place and its history.

An invitation to stroll around the Prague 6 - Hanspaulka Villas on Thursday 13 June 2024, we'll meet at 3:30 PM in front of UCT Prague, building A. Please register for the event →
This time we focused our walk on an industrial monument about a quarter of an hour's walk from our university, located in Prague 6 Bubenč. The Old sewage treatment plant was built and commissioned in 1906. The British civil engineer William Heerlein Lindley was responsible for the construction of the sewerage system and the technical parameters of the sewage treatment plant. Treated wastewater was discharged into the nearby river Vltava, therefore it was necessary to monitor the chemical composition of the treated water. Julie Hamáčková, who was one of the first women to study at the Prague Technical University, became the head of the operational analytical laboratory. She participated in the development of the methodology for the chemical analysis of utility and waste water. Later, in the 1950s, she was the first woman to be appointed professor of water chemistry and became dean of the Faculty of Fuels and Water Technology.
Today, the sewage treatment plant is no longer in operation. In 1967 it was replaced by a newly built treatment plant on nearby Císařský Island. In the old sewage treatment plant, the technical equipment has been preserved, including the steam engine that powered the entire technology equipment through the transmissions.
After finishing the tour of the sewage treatment plant, our group, led by our guide Martin Bělohradský, walked through the adjacent part of Stromovka Park (Royal Game Reserve) from the Císařský Mill to the Gate leading to the church of St. Gotthard.
We passed by the magnificent villas in the residential district Bubeneč and we managed to get a glimpse of the beautiful interiors of Villa Lanna, which is the property of the Czech Academy of Sciences.
On a beautiful sunny spring day, we started our walk on the western bastions of Prague Castle, walked along the picturesque New World Street, stopped at the house with a memorial plaque to the famous Danish mathematician and astronomer Tycho de Brahe, who lived here around 1600.
We descended into the Jelení příkop/Deer Moat and climbed up to Masaryk's Lookout, from where we could see the panorama of palaces around Prague Castle.
We walked along the Brusnice Creek, through the tunnel under the Powder Bridge to the lower part of the Jelení příkop, from where we could see the high walls and towers protecting Prague Castle from the North.
We climbed up the steep path and steps to Queen Anne's Summer Palace and walk through the Royal Garden to the entrance to the Second Courtyard of Prague Castle. We were weaving our way through the crowds of tourists to St Vitus' Cathedral to the Third Courtyard and from there down the Býčí schodiště/Bull's Steps to the South Gardens. There we were rewarded with a beautiful view over the rooftops of the Lesser Town houses and palaces, the Vltava River and the inner city of Prague.
We were taken through the history of Prague Castle and the surrounding palaces by our excellent guide Martin Bělohradský.

Culture Couse for International StudentsOn Thursday, September 14, join the Culture Course led by Caleb Daniel House, MSc. (USA).
Caleb House was born and raised in Northern California. Since 2003 he has lived in 10 countries across Europe, Asia, and Africa as a student, volunteer, teacher, researcher, and project manager. Along the way, he slowly realized that the deep differences in culture are not the main problem, rather the way we think about culture can have a make-or-break impact on the experience abroad. Through a long process of failures and successes, he developed a set of tools to overcome the challenges and to make the most of living in a foreign country. Since 2018 he has worked in the International Relations Office of the Czech Technical University in Prague.
The Culture Course provides insight into culture shock, culture fatigue, how to think about culture when you're a foreigner, or how to make the most of your time in a foreign country despite challenges.

Athens spring 2024Traineeship at University of Bordeaux
University of Bordeaux is looking for a Master student willing to work in our theoretical chemistry group in Bordeaux for a 5-months research internship. It is funded by a joint research program with University of Waterloo (Canada) so it means that we can cover part of accommodation and travel expanses (700 euros per months) and complete with Erasmus mobility grant or others. The scientific program is detailed below and please see the paper already published this year related to the project.
If any of your student is interested, please contact me at cedric.crespos@u-bordeaux.fr
The research project aims to overcome the limitations of conventional gas sensing technologies by combining machine learning algorithms with metal oxide-organic thin films synthesis (high-performance metal oxide-organic thin film gas sensors for detecting amines such as ammonia, dimethylamine, and trimethylamine). By exploring various organic thin film materials, we will identify optimal combinations with semiconductor metal oxides to enhance the sensitivity, selectivity, and stability of gas sensors within a combined experimental and computational approach.
The 6-months internship project will be focused on the theoretical part with electronic structure calculations, making use of quantum chemistry technics and more sepcifically density functional theory (DFT) for large systems. Linear-scaling DFT calculations will be performed with the CONQUEST code. This will allow us to handle large-size chemical systems, including those with defects. The combination of AI algorithms and linear-scaling DFT should provides an efficient and systematic means to navigate the extensive compositional space of multicomponent oxide-based chemiresistors.

Summer Academy for PhD - scholarship and deadline update!
The Marsilius-Kolleg of Heidelberg University, the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) and the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research (MPImR) are excited to announce their upcoming Marsilius Academy, a week-long program, which will be held from Sunday, 10 September, to Fri-day, 15 September 2023, in Heidelberg, Germany.
Titled “[At the] Limits of Life: Dealing with Biofacts, Embryoids and Hybrids – Perspectives from Sciences and Humanities” the Academy aims to bring together an international group of excellent PhD students and early Post-docs from different fields of study to discuss societal, judicial and ethical challenges arising from recent breakthroughs in biology, biomedicine, and bioengineering.
Its work-shops, masterclasses and further sessions are led by renowned expert researchers and will provide a unique opportunity for participating students to engage in interdisciplinary exchange and collaboration.
Please have a close look at the Call for Applications with all the main pieces of information students will need in order to apply.
Update:
8/6/2023
Please see update about scholarship and extended application deadline!!!
Every applicant has the opportunity to request the reception of a stipend that either eliminates the participation fee or assists with travel costs (up to 2000€). Fees and stipends are specifically designed to ameliorate the financial constraints of prospective participants who do not have the institutional support that is generally required to apply for a program like ours. While this may especially be necessary for international candidates from underrepresented communities, we encourage every young scholar without a budget for travel/conferences to apply for the stipend they would benefit from the most.
We have extended our application deadline until Sunday, 2 July 2023 to give those with financial concerns a little more time to hand in their applications. If you could be so kind as to distribute this information (updated documents attached) as broadly as possible among early career researchers in your organization, we would appreciate that very much.
If you have any questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us at schuetz@mk.uni-heidelberg.de.

EIT Jumpstarter programme 2023
The EIT Jumpstarter programme aims to create a sustainable impact in the Central-Eastern and Southern-European Regions by boosting innovation and entrepreneurship within this part of Europe. The programme’s concept originates from the needs of the innovation ecosystem of these regions. Throughout the programme, researchers want to be entrepreneurs and innovators who learn from expert trainers and mentors, who help them build a viable business model, validate it, and if it is sustainable, they are encouraged to register their company. We believe that this program might be interesting to your students, researchers or colleagues who would like to participate in the valorization of their research results – in line with your organizational policies - but have no experience in it. As EIT Jumpstarter is a training program with the opportunity to create a start-up or spin-off for your organization and further progress in our innovation funnel in the EIT RawMaterials accelerator or Booster program, this is a risk-free activity.

A Six-Month Internship Position with the Egli Laboratory at Columbia University in New York CityA Six-Month Internship Position with the Egli Laboratory at Columbia University in New York City
Announcement Summary:
A unique opportunity for a PhD student (ideally, an individual in the early stages of his/her doctoral studies)
to actively participate in cutting-edge stem cell research projects in Dieter Egli’s laboratory at Columbia
University. The selected candidate will join Columbia University as a J-1 visa fellow for a six-month period.
During the internship, the fellow will work on selected research projects under the direct supervision
of the principal investigator and a senior researcher (see his contact information below). If the knowledge
that the fellow generates is used in a scientific publication, the fellow will be included in the list of authors.
Principal Investigator:
Dietrich M. Egli, PhD, Maimonides Assistant Professor of Developmental Cell Biology
Department of Pediatrics, Division of Molecular Genetics
Research Overview:
The Egli lab focuses on stem cells, epigenetic reprogramming, disease modeling, genome stability,
and early human development. Two ongoing projects are especially relevant to this announcement.
A. The precise and efficient correction of disease-causing mutations in early human embryos
This research project aims to: (i) deepen our understanding of DNA repair mechanisms in early human
embryos and (ii) evaluate the potential of novel genome-editing tools (e.g., prime editors) for the precise
and efficient correction of pathogenic mutations soon after fertilization. The Egli lab is one of only a few
laboratories in the world that have both the legal and ethical approval required to conduct this research.
Our recent references include Zuccaro et al., Nature. (2018); Zuccaro et al., Cell. (2019); Turocy et. al.,
Cell. (2021).
B. Mitigation of replication stress in human preimplantation embryo
The Egli hab is interested in understanding the genome stability during epigenetic reprogramming
and early human development. Aneuploidy is exceedingly common in human embryos and is the most
common cause of pregnancy loss. In the current project, we plan to identify factors that have the capacity
to mitigate the replication stress that is responsible for DNA damage and the decresead developmental
potential of human embryos. Our recent references include Chia et al., Nat Cell Biol. (2017);
Palmerola et al., Cell. (2022) (manuscript accepted for publication).
The Institution:
Established more than 250 years ago as King’s College, Columbia University is a leading research
