The third year of the MENDELU back-to-work grant has its winners

2. 9. 2024

The further year of the back-to-work grant of the Grant Agency of Gregor Johann Mendel of Mendel University in Brno (internal research projects category C) , whose main goal is to enable scientists to return from maternity/parental leave to a full-fledged scientific career at the university, has its winners.

The back-to-work grant is intended for highly motivated MENDELU researchers and academics who are or have been on maternity or parental leave and are caring for a child under the age of six (one or more children) and have more than half-time employment. If the employee has not taken maternity leave, but only parental leave, the duration of parental leave is also a requirement for at least one year.

The third year's has two winners, who are:

  • Ing. Kristýna Šmerková, Ph.D. with the research on the use of antibacterial nanomaterials in agriculture and their effect on the modulation of the intestinal microflora of piglets
  • Ing. Luďka Hanincová, Ph.D. with the project Optimization and Sustainability in Wood Processing: Efficient Approaches and Challenges in Woodworking

MENDELU will help the winning scientists to manage their projects by financially supporting their childcare. Among other things, they are be able to choose their talent manager.

Congratulations to both winners!
