Indicative Minimum Criteria of Requirements
for Habilitation and Professor Appointment Procedures at FI MU
Habilitation or evaluation committee comprehensively assesses the professional and
personal profile of the applicant and submitted a clear substantiate proposal to the Faculty´s
Scientific Board. The list of items in each assessment areas is not absolute and is used by
habilitation and evaluation committee as a basis for determining the appropriate entry
qualifications for the corresponding scientific-pedagogical title. The commission, with regard
to the practice in field, explains the reasons which led to its decision, especially in case when
the candidate does not meet any of these criteria. A slight deficiency in some item may be
compensated by excellence in other items. Fulfilment of all criteria does not automatically
imply a positive statement of the commission.
