The interrelationship between the research and education is a typical sign of a modern university in the third millenium. The university teachers should have experiences and skills in the research work during their professional career and bring them to students. This increases students’ interest, especially in medical and natural sciences. The research has no frontiers between the countries and it is the platform for collaboration of scientists and their scholars.
Charles University was founded in 1348 with nearly 670 years tradition of medicine and its Medical School expanded its narrow collaboration with universities around the world. It is developed between academicians but significant enlargement has been done in education of students influenced by modern scientific trends spread abroad. Joint-degree and double-degree programs are popular for doctoral students but master-degree students are supported as well. They may prepare their theses abroad at partner universities. The exchange of doctoral students between universities is a promising area for collaborating institutions creating twinning partners. Further scientific achievements may be realized by creating post-doc positions. The young investigators bring new ideas and may form new research groups together with domestic young researchers.
Charles University realized in 2016 total of 130 out of 215 exchanges of academicians, 73 out of 98 in exchanges of scientific stays of students with 35 universities, 11 Cotutelle programs and has in total 22 positions of post-docs. Mobility fund for financial support of exchanges has been created 15 years ago. The complex strategy of the university is necessary for establishing a prosperous research-education interrelationship because research enforces education and education stimulates the research.
