Annotation
The Institute of Geology and Paleontology offers the Erasmus students a unique opportunity to participate in the Institute´s ongoing research projects, which cover a wide range of topics in Geology and Paleontology. Prospective students are referred to the Institute´s website [https://www.natur.cuni.cz/geologie/paleontologie] for a general overview.
A research project may be an integral part of the individual study plan. We encourage interested Erasmus students to contact the project advisors for further details.
