Open Letter to the Czech Conference of Rectors and to the Council of Universities (Covid 1)

On October 14, we addressed an open letter to the Czech Conference of Rectors and to the Council of Universities to ensure that, during the current state of emergency the doctoral students are treated as early career researchers, regardless of whether or not they have a formal employee status at their university. By no means do we want to question the legitimacy of the measures in place. However, we call for doctoral students not to face more obstacles in terms of their research than this situation brings to other academic staff.

The text of the letter can be found below.
