What is onboarding?
Onboarding is a key process of integrating new employees into the organisation, thereby enhancing both their professional, social, cultural and organisational integration. As a result, employees feel welcomed as part of the organisation and better prepared for the tasks ahead of them. The sooner the new employee feels welcome and fully informed, the better and quicker they will be able to contribute to the organisation successfully.
Onboarding procedures are common in the private sector but often absent in academic institutions. In particular for newly hired Early Career Researchers (ECR), namely PhD candidates, such procedures will strongly impact both their integration into the organisation and clarification of roles and responsibilities of all stakeholders involved in their programme. In order to maximize their impact, it is therefore important that onboarding procedures are approved and supported by supervisors and Postgraduate offices. While it has been shown that successful onboarding contributes to increased well-being and motivation, many ECRs often feel somewhat lost and poorly supported when entering academia, leading to doubt, insecurity and sometimes even an early abandonment of their research project.
UCT and onboarding
In collaboration with the PRIDE network (Professionals in Doctoral Education), a working group was formed with the aim of drafting a publication on onboarding, focusing for the first time on doctoral candidates and postdocs and their adaptation process at the university.
UCT Prague initially launched an extensive questionnaire to assess awareness of onboarding, whether and how many people have encountered it, and what they would welcome within the academic environment. After evaluating the questionnaire, meetings were held in the private sector with HR professionals. We wanted to verify how onboarding is conducted in private companies and how we can leverage their know-how and experiences in our context.
The collected materials and interviews with HR professionals were used to create an adaptation plan, which was piloted from September 2023 at three institutes of UCT Prague. The resulting adaptation plan, which is part of this page, will serve the needs of UCT Prague supervisors who work with newly hired doctoral candidates. Furthermore, the adaptation plan will be utilized for the PRIDE network publication, serving as a foundation for other European universities.

It is doctoral study programme that is leading to two diplomas from both home university as well as partner university. Student works on one dissertation, the study programmes are fully integrated between collaborating universities and include specialized courses at home university and one interdisciplinary at partner university.
Each successful applicant signs individual contract about doctoral double degree based on his/her particular situation (research area, supervisor’s requirements, home university requirements etc.). The contract is signed between UCT Prague and student’s home university.
Requirements for doctoral double degree contract:
- Student has to agree with two supervisors – one from the home university, one from UCT Prague
- Student has to be accepted by his/her supervisor to PhD studies at UCT Prague
- Student has to be accepted to PhD studies at his/her home university
- UCT Prague and student’s home university have to have a joint double degree study programme (list of offered programmes below)
Contact persons at UCT Prague
First contact (study matter) - Contact person of each double degree study programme.
Second contact (general matter, information about the application proceedings)– Department of International Relations: international@vscht.cz
Finances
In terms of cooperation with partner universities no tuition is required. Students are expected to cover any additional costs themselves.
What are the advantages?
Besides improved employability of graduates, there is emphasis on research activity coupled with a possibility to lead small research groups. The program inherently strengthens professional language knowledge. There are possibilities to gain practical skills thanks to cooperation with partner companies such as Zentiva, Zeva, Contipro, Lonza Biotec or in practically oriented departments of Czech Academy of Sciences, where are practical traineeships available. Last but not least there is excellent support of students, including motivational scholarships.

Annotation
High entropy alloys belong to a relatively new group of materials which are characterized by the preferential formation of solid solutions instead of intermetallic compounds. These materials exhibit several excellent properties, foremostly high strengths while maintaining sufficient ductility, good corrosion resistance and others. By suitable processing of these alloys, it is possible to achieve further substantial improvement of these already very good properties. The work will be focused on the preparation of new advanced high-entropy alloys combining significantly higher strengths while maintaining sufficient plasticity.

Turquoise hydrogen, a product of modern approach to methane pyrolysis, appears along with a waste by-product carbon. Modifying the process by adding metal oxide particles, the carbon is transformed into a variety of carbide phases and carbon-based nanostructures. Among these, the TiC and WC, exhibiting one of the highest hardnesses among carbides, will be used for a targeted preparation of cutting-edge materials capable of high kinetic energy dissipation. For this purpose, the carbides/carbon nanostructured composite mixtures prepared by plasma cracking of methane will be thoroughly investigated at the level of powders and their compacts. High fracture toughness Ni-Ti and CoCrNi alloys will further embody them. The incorporation strategy will be initially tested on sandwich structures compacted by SPS, providing the general knowledge to be utilised for DED additive manufacturing. Alternating layers, their composition, mutual intermixing and interconnection will lead to the synthesis of functionally-graded materials with the potential of being implemented as ballistic protection.

Hydrogen will become an important part of the energy mix in next decades. Until 2030, some 60 billion € is expected to be invested into the hydrogen infrastructure, R&D and new production facilities along the value chain, including component suppliers, specialized materials, and end use applications, such as the development of fuel cell vehicles and retrofitting of industry heat equipment. Stainless steel is considered as an optimal material for e.g., electrolyser proton exchange membranes (PEMs), liquid hydrogen transport and storage of compressed hydrogen. Low- and medium-alloyed steels have multiple applications mainly for hydrogen storage and transport. Still, these materials may suffer from hydrogen embrittlement (HE), welding issues, high production cost and strong dependency on raw materials imports. Therefore, within the European project HYSTORY, innovative Mn austenitic stainless and non stainless steels will be developed for hydrogen production, cryo-compressed hydrogen storage and compressed hydrogen transport. The study will focus on their susceptibility to HE and the interaction between hydrogen and the steel microstructure. Deep understanding into the effect of steel composition and microstructure on mechanical properties, hydrogen entry and interaction will be sought using numerous advanced techniques available in the hydrogen laboratory of Technopark Kralupy.
Towards durable organic coatings produced by environmentally friendly technologies

European steel industry is currently preparing for the CO2 emission reduction (55% by 2030) and climate neutrality (by 2050) targets set by the European Union. Industrial organic coatings are still generally based on solvent borne paint formulations and thermal curing technologies that use fossil constituents and fuels. It is expected that a transition from thermal curing to radiation curing coatings will be the critical step in achieving the sustainability goals. While radiation curing (UV/EB) technologies are already being used in several other industries, the high requirements for product performance and durability still hamper their industrial deployment. A major bottleneck is long lab to market time, requiring rigorous and time-consuming product testing. Recently, developments in sample preparation and microscopic analysis techniques have shown that observation of early-stage, "hidden" coating performance has the potential to reveal coating defects and molecular-level degradation mechanisms in 1/3 of the time of conventional coating evaluation techniques. This project will increase the use of sustainable coatings by understanding relevant early-stage microstructural degradation and physico-chemical changes. Lab to market time will be decreased by introducing novel characterization techniques that are able to reveal initial degradation kinetics on a molecular level, allowing faster lifetime prediction models of coating systems. The project will be supported by major European steelmakers and paint producers.

Additive manufacturing (AM) provides the possibility of a step change in material efficiency by increasing the ‘buy-to-fly’ ratio by reducing material waste, design optimisation by placing material only where it is needed in a component, and the possibility of repair of components to dramatically extend service life. For these benefits to be fully realised, optimised circular approaches to AM are required including the use of recycled materials, improved feedstock (powder) manufacturing with increased yields, manufacturing with low or no defects and resultant parts with excellent performance including the ability to repair and remanufacture to dramatically improve life span. In order to reduce the carbon footprint of car production, this project will aim at optimization of additive manufacturing technologies in order to reach longer lifetime of produced tooling for car part production at reduced manufacturing environmental costs. It will be allowed by deeper understanding into the relationship between the properties of metal powder, manufacturing parameters and application properties. Tooling with improved corrosion, wear or heat resistance will thus be produced. In particular, the project will look at (1) understanding into the effect of powder composition on final performance of produced parts, (2) increase powder re-use or application of powders made of recycled metals, (3) optimization of post-treatment techniques such as fine machining, heat treatment and nitridation, (4) development of methodologies for assessment of product durability, including advanced defectoscopy techniques, mechanical tests and corrosion resistance, and (5) identification of areas where material or energy savings can be reached without compromising the application properties. The project will be carried out with the support of a major Czech car manufacturer and in cooperation with an Australian university. ) ) [sablona] => stdClass Object ( [class] => stranka [html] => [css] => [js] => [autonomni] => 1 ) [api_suffix] => druh/I/jazyk/en/locale/en/ustav/106 )
