Our Guests
Lucie Doležalová
Professor Lucie Doležalová holds positions at Charles University’s Faculty of Arts and Faculty of Humanities. Her research focuses on medieval scribes, obscure texts, and the art of memory.
She currently leads the projects THEEND (Innovation and Inertia: The End of Medieval Scribes, ERC CZ) and “It is finished. Pour wine, Lady Anna.” Linguistic Experiments in Medieval Scribe’s Notes and Colophons (GAČR). She also plays a key role in the projects CoRe (Beyond Security: The Role of Conflict in Strengthening Resilience, OP JAK) and ANTIDOTE (Advanced Training in Digitization of Older Texts, Erasmus+ KA2). Her project PAMELA (Papyri and Manuscripts: Exploring Layers of Ages, Horizon SE) has recently secured funding.
In addition to her academic work, she manages three children, supervises PhD students, conducts research, and teaches.
Peter Fabian
Based at Masaryk University in Brno, Peter is a group leader investigating how cells and signals influence skeletal development, primarily using zebrafish as his model.
Following his postdoctoral research in the U.S., he returned to Czechia with a clear aim: to establish an interdisciplinary team and cultivate a highly collaborative research environment, both within his lab and across the broader scientific community.
Programme
Managing multiple grants at once can be a challenge. How to plan the projects? How to distribute work? And how to not end up with a burnout? We will discuss these questions with our guests and many more in open discussion afterwards.
