Other IOCB Trainings
IP protection seminar
Our colleagues at IOCB Tech, our in-house technology transfer subsidiary, organize a series of seminars focused on the legal aspects of IP protection, patents, and patenting. These seminars, designed for groups of up to 20 researchers and administrative staff, provide an opportunity for interactive discussions on specific questions, with the goal of clarifying the process and highlighting the opportunities for the IP protection and commercialization available through IOCB Tech. For more information, please contact Barbara Eignerová.

Research data management: 3 Acts of Love (Elixir CZ training event)
Research data management experts Jeanne Wilbrandt and Elena Rey Mazón visited IOCB in November 2023 and delivered an interactive workshop covering three basic "acts of loving your data": Labelling, Backups, and Documenting. The intended learning goals were to:
- Know basic principles and best practices of research data management (RDM)
- Understand the importance and benefits of good RDM
- Be able to design naming conventions, folder hierarchies, backup strategies, and documentation routines.

First aid courses
Basic first aid courses for the IOCB employees are prepared and conducted by qualified lecturers from the Faculty of Science of Charles University. The four-hour course, which takes place at the Institute, is designed as an experiential course with an emphasis on intensive practical training in correct first aid techniques with the active involvement of all participants. It uses, among other things, simulations of model critical situations with mock victims and masked injuries.
Topics:
- Introduction to rescue and safety
- consciousness and breathing control (including practical training)
- resuscitation (including practical training)
- automated external defibrillator
- foreign body asphyxiation (including practical training)
- arrest of massive bleeding (including practical training)
- emergency line call
- a brief overview of more advanced conditions and their management (burns, convulsions, electric shocks, etc.)
No special preparation is needed for the course, comfortable clothing in which to lie on the ground is recommended. Courses are free of charge for the IOCB employees (the costs are covered by the Institute) - specific course dates in Czech and English are usually announced twice a year. If you have any questions regarding the courses, please address them to Barbora Fričová (barbora.fricova@uochb.cas.cz).
