2. in an electronic version (in the form of a pdf file, without signatures or with an electronic signature) – with attachments.
Delivery method of an electronic version:
1. all files – reports, and attachments should be titled according to the following scheme: Surname_name_file_name (e.g., Kowalski_Jan_report_2021) – Note – files otherwise named will not be taken into account)

The DS office verifies the closure of the academic year by the doctoral candidates after submitting the signed initial report.
The DS office compiles the documents and passes them on to the evaluation committee along with instructions on how to proceed. PhD candidates and supervisors are added to the message.
Note – the office does not verify the documents provided.

Meetings are held remotely no later than January 31 (2023).
The committee chairman is responsible for organizing the remote meeting (setting the date and preparing the merger).
All members take part in the committee meeting. In particularly justified cases, the absence of one committee member is allowed, who should provide a written opinion containing the assessment of the report by the date of the committee meeting at the latest. The presence of the committee chairman at the meeting is obligatory.
At the invitation of the committee chairman, a doctoral student or a supervisor may participate in the meeting or part thereof.
An absolute majority of votes takes the committee’s decisions.
After completing the commission’s work, the chairman prepares the protocol by filling in the form below. The chairman sends the Pdf generated after completing the form to the doctoral student and supervisor.

The evaluation committee assesses the progress of the doctoral student’s research work on the basis of the IRP implementation report.
The evaluation can be positive, conditionally positive or negative. If the assessment is conditionally positive, the commission assigns the PhD candidate specific tasks along with a deadline for their implementation. After this date, the commission meets with the PhD candidate and reassesses his progress.
A negative assessment is the basis for deleting a doctoral student.
