Also this year, Michael Kohajda, Rector of Palacký University, has announced an award focused exclusively on students of doctoral study programs. Nominations for the Honorary Mention of the Rector of Palacký University Olomouc to Students of Doctoral Study Programmes for a Professional Article may be submitted by the relevant vice-deans and the director of the university institute until mid-November 2025.
The aim of the award is to support the creative work of doctoral students and it comes with a financial reward in the form of a special scholarship. The Rector's Honorary Mention can be awarded for professional articles from the current or previous year.
"The rules for awarding the prize have been updated for this year, and the number of professional articles that can be awarded has been increased," said Miroslav Dopita, Vice-Rector for Doctoral Studies and Junior Science, adding that the amended Statute of the Award (in Czech) also sets out the detailed conditions, rules, and procedure for awarding the prize.
The proposal may be submitted by the vice-dean responsible for doctoral studies at the faculty where the author of the professional article is enrolled, as well as by the director of the UP University Institute, with the consent of the field council and the vice-dean responsible for doctoral studies at the faculty where the student is enrolled. The Rector's Honorary Mention may only be awarded to a student during their standard period of study, extended by one year.
The official presentation of the Honorary Mention of the Rector of Palacký University Olomouc to Students of Doctoral Study Programmes for a Professional Article will be part of the Rector's Awards ceremony during Academic Week in February 2026.
