On this half-day course we will go through the data tools in base R, but spend most of our focus on the powerful and simple-to-use ggplot2 dat package. To take part of the course, a basic understanding of R is expected (loading data, naming a variables, orientation in basic data types). Learning outcomes: At the end of the course the participants will be able to use R for cre customizable data vizualizations of their research data. Topics that will be covered: • visualization in base R • when do I choose which graph type? • bar plot, line chart, histogram • ggplot2 package • aes function • colors • scatterplot, box plot, heat map, spatial data visualization Research Ethics in Practice: From Project Proposals to Ethics Management23.09.2026 10:00 Venue: Kampus Hybernská Lecturer: Mgr. Ondřej Daniel, Ph.D., Research Support Office Educational Portal: more information and registration here [ URL "https://vzdelavani.is.cu simplifyworks/en/eoc/public/programs/3570775891-research-ethics-in-practice-from-project-p ethics-management"] This workshop introduces key principles of research ethics and their practical application the research lifecycle. Participants will explore how ethical considerations shape respons practice and how they should be addressed in research project proposals. The workshop will practical guidance on preparing an Ethics Management Plan, including how to identify poten issues and design appropriate mitigation measures. Through examples and discussion, postdo researchers will gain a clearer understanding of ethical responsibilities in research, str ability to address ethics requirements in grant proposals, and learn how to plan and manag during project implementation. The workshop is open to postdoctoral researchers interested their competencies in responsible and ethically sound research.

The attendees will learn about diff how to provide open access to their publications and how to make their work reusable. The cover the basics of copyright and licensing with a particular focus on Creative Commons li the course will introduce other ways of opening the publication process such as preprints, or open peer review.

Interdisciplinary Research Principles and Practice24.11.2026 9:00 Venue: Kampus Hybernská Lecturer: prof. Dr. Julia Mildorfova Leventon Educational Portal: more information and registration here [ URL "https://vzdelavani.is.cu simplifyworks/en/eoc/public/programs/2522949192-interdisciplinary-research-principles-and- Many research programmes and activities call for interdisciplinary research for solving co This interdisciplinary research can take many forms depending on how methods and disciplin for what purpose, and how that mixing occurs. Different types of interdisciplinarity pose researchers, around how they cross paradigms and different understandings of core concepts research team dynamics. In this workshop, we start with the building blocks of research de concepts, data collection methods, data analysis methods, case studies, etc.) and explore to put together these building blocks in different research designs. We consider how appro research aims, and create challenges and opportunities for knowledge integration. We also practice, and reflect on the risks and difficulties of doing interdisciplinarity, includin to collaboration and team management.Programme description: By the end of this workshop, postdocs will be able to • Recognise and identify core building blocks of interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary r • Design interdisciplinary research that mixes methods and disciplines, from simple to com • Identify and manage common challenges in interdisciplinary research in practice. Workshop approach This workshop includes a range of teaching approaches, and relies on the participants bein participating in discussions. Lecturing is used only to create core understandings of key used. We will spend more time creating research designs (we will even physically build the sharing ideas, and participating in structured discussions and participatory exercises.  Suggested advance reading Chapter 1: The Selection of a Research Approach in Creswell, J.W., 2014, Research Design: quantitative and mixed methods approaches.
