Abstract
As the Foreign Internship a student spends at least one month (30 consecutive calendar days) of their studies at an academic or research institution abroad (except Slovakia). The internship at a non-academic institution must be approved by the doctoral board depending on the student's research focus. Students in combined form of studies may also fulfil the obligation of a foreign internship by participating in an international research project (GA CR, TA CR, Horizon, etc.) with results published or presented abroad. The aim of the internship is to deepen the professional and methodological knowledge related to the topic of the dissertation.

After completing the course, a student will be able to:
- present research findings to the scientific and wider professional community and to students
- understand the level of internationally accepted publishing standards in economic sciences
