FROM PAT: Through my work in the National Council of University Research Administrators (NCURA), OSU has provided a two-week internship May 22 through June 2 for Ivo. Ivo serves as a Project Consultant and Manager at Mendel University in Brno, and his goal is to learn more about our processes and organizational matters connected with pre-award and post-award grant management. He is very interested in learning about the relationships between principal investigators and research administrators, systems of projects development and management and related budget preparation and financial management. Ivo has been employed at Mendel University in Brno since 2004, and was there when their sponsored programs office was created. He has also worked as a project manager on certain EU funding sources for European Structural Funds. He is an active member of the European Association for Research Managers and Administrators (EARMA), which is a sister organization to the National Council of University of Research Administrators (NCURA). Mendel University in Brno is the oldest independent specialized university is the Czech Republic, first founded in 1864 as an agricultural university in Moravia. The University of Agriculture in Brno has been primarily an agriculture and forestry institution since its creation. In 2010, the University was renamed to Mendel University in Brno.
