We unite CZEXPATS, Czech scientists who live abroad

The initiative Czexpats in Science strives to connect Czech scientists abroad with scientists and institutions in the Czech Republic, foster long term partnerships and the exchange of information, aiming to support world class science in the Czech Republic

Hundreds of talented Czech scientists live abroad and leverage their knowledge and experience for innovative research. However, living and working abroad tend to result in the loss of contact with the scientific community in the Czech Republic, loss of opportunities to share and collaborate with scientists in the Czech Republic and, last but not least, difficulties in returning to the Czech Republic.

Articles (in czech)

We publish blog entries about different aspects
of the life of a scientist abroad and upon return
to the Czech Republic We try to catch a broad
range of experience
and points of view. Our
blogs are published by the popular portal

We heard from Barbara Havelkova (@UniofOxford) oh how to stay relevant back home when working abroad, from @OtakarFojt (@FCDOGovUK) on all the opportunities to collaborate between CZ and UK and from @KratinaLab (@QMUL) on his career journey, and how it’s all about the people!

Had an absolute blast during the London Calling – conference of Czech scientists in the UK!
We heard about a lot of great science, got some good career advice and networked until late (or early?) hours! 🍻
