| Key learning outcomes | The goal of the doctoral programme EnviBio is to educate experts with deep interdisciplinary knowledge at the boundaries of the physical-chemical properties of materials and biology, in selected modules, according to the individualization of the students, including areas of environmental, analytical chemistry and biochemistry, chemistry and physics of materials, biomaterials, green technologies, circular economy, sustainable technologies, functional and progressive materials. During their studies, students will become acquainted with the latest characterization techniques and work in *high-tech* laboratories, for example, in the environment of a clean room laboratory, or in an accredited laboratory, as well as with advanced syntheses of new materials or application-oriented characterization laboratories, or material screening. Graduates of EnviBio should be able to design new materials with regard to the required physical-chemical properties in correlation with their atomic-molecular structure, with a deep understanding of the interaction of these materials with the environment (environmental, medical, etc. applications). When developing materials and possible devices, graduates will also take into account products entire life cycle, especially with regard to potential secondary use or recycling. Mastery of a multi-disciplinary approach and the use of synergistic effects in problem-solving is expected, which will be achieved thanks to the interdisciplinary cooperation of FZP, PrF, IIC and a foreign partner institution, IKTS. Thanks to the involvement of foreign teachers and a foreign partner institution in teaching and specialized laboratories, students will learn to work, think and procedures in an international scientific atmosphere, i.e., in a competitive environment. In cooperation with IKTS, students will learn the approach to commercialization, i.e., procedures and methodology for transferring laboratory technologies and new materials into usable practice and their positive impact on the economy ? a skill that is currently highly important for improving the competitiveness of the Czech Republic and EU. The aim of the study is to prepare new generations of experts who will continue either in the academic environment and in the future take over the roles of creative and leading workers in new fields, or in research and development departments of innovative and creative international companies ? ?market leaders? ? both in the Czech environment, but naturally also abroad, e.g., in Saxony, Germany (represented by a partner institution IKTS), which is becoming a Western European technological *Silicon Valley*. |
