PI Forum Brno #9: The Culture Behind Excellent Science

Scientific excellence does not come out of a vacuum, but is rooted in, is nurtured by, and grows from the institutional culture. In PI Forum #9, we aim to share, analyze, and discuss motivating and effective institutional practices that can help PIs and their teams grow.

What?

An informal space for meeting, networking, and sharing of experience among Principal Investigators working in Czechia, open to all those who hold an independent research group leader position in any scientific field, regardless of age, experience, institution, or nationality.
