Course format:
A series of eight sessions for doctoral students at the early and intermediate stages of their training. The course combines the development of the Individual Research Plan (IRP) with practical knowledge of research design, publication strategies, and the acquisition and implementation of research grants. It also introduces national and international models of academic career development.
Objectives and thematic scope:
– designing a coherent research plan and developing the IRP,
– intentional research design, selection of methods, and documenting procedures,
– preparing scholarly articles and choosing appropriate publication formats (article, book chapter, monograph, scholarly edition),
– building a researcher’s online presence (ORCID, Google Scholar, ResearchGate, scholarly communication),
– identifying conferences and publication opportunities; networking strategies,
– responding to peer reviews and collaborating with editorial teams,
– overview of grant programmes for early-career researchers (NCN, NAWA, ERC, 4EU+),
– internationalisation of research and career planning in a European and global context.

Learning outcomes
Knowledge (knows and understands):
Understands the principles of disseminating research results, including open-access models and ethical standards of scholarly publishing.
Understands basic models of research design and their methodological implications for the Individual Research Plan (IRP).
Skills (is able to):
Formulate a research problem, hypotheses and objectives, and select appropriate research methods and tools.
Plan and carry out individual and collaborative research activities, including in an international context.
Prepare an Individual Research Plan and an initial outline of a grant application project (NCN/NAWA/ERC/4EU+).
Independently plan academic development and organise the research work of others (co-editing, co-authorship, project teams).
Analyse and select appropriate publication outlets and respond to reviews in accordance with scholarly standards.
Assessment criteria
Activity and preparation for classes – participation in discussions, case study analysis, and short workshop exercises.
Preparation of the IRP project or an updated version of its key components (objectives, methods, timeline).
Preparation of an initial draft of a grant application (NCN, ERC, NAWA or 4EU+): descriptive section or proposal structure.
A short written reflection on one’s publication strategy and academic development (1–2 pages).
Rules for the use of AI tools:
The use of AI tools supporting workflow and writing (e.g., text structuring, paraphrasing, language correctness) is permitted, provided full substantive control over the content is maintained. The generation of scholarly work or its fragments without disclosing the involvement of AI, as well as the use of AI to automatically produce content presented as original research, is not allowed.
10 hours of contact classes = 0.5 ECTS
Student’s individual work (preparation of the IRP project and grant application, reading materials, preparation for discussion) – approx. 10–12 hours = 0.5 ECTS
