Research practice 2

Students will participate in teaching activities related to one of the institute's research groups, in the form of an internship within the research group. They will take part in some of the group's activities and be assigned various tasks. This may include work on design, data collection, and analysis of research data, participation in the development of scientific manuscripts, popular science communication, organizing a research seminar, or writing a research project outline. The tasks will be varied and provide candidates with insight into several aspects of the research process. Upon completion of the internship, students will write a short report describing their work.

Students can also apply to work on individual self-study (to be agreed upon with the research group in advance). They will then delve into a topic suggested by the research group or a self-chosen topic (must be approved). Students may be prescribed a reading list or asked to find literature themselves within certain limits.
