My topic and what to do with it, or how to apply scientific knowledge in everyday life in a non-commercial way?
Abstract
The workshop entitled "My topic and what to do with it, or How to apply scientific knowledge in everyday life in a non-commercial way?" is part of a series of workshops on the application of scientific knowledge in practice.
The aim of the theoretical LECTURE, which was part of the workshop, was to provide UK students with practical information about what could be done with the results of their specific research. How their particular topic (from a bachelor's thesis, dissertation, research) can be viewed through the lens of socially beneficial practical innovation.
The event was moderated by Ivana Sýkorová, Deputy Director of the Centre for Knowledge and Technology Transfer, Charles University.

In her search for a functional and long-term solution to tendonitis, she found yoga and it has helped her not only with her hands, but also with conscious breathing, stage fright and overall comfort at the piano. So she decided to guide fellow musicians along this path, and to dedicate her doctoral studies at the Department of Music Education, Faculty of Education, Charles University in Prague to this topic.
