According to the Decree of the Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Sport of the Slovak Republic No.397/2020, a university textbook is defined as a didactic tool of higher education that presents a systematic set and interpretation of knowledge on one thematic unit, has a didactic purpose and relates to the study programme. The target group is a defined group of university students. It conveys the latest information in the field of research, has a clearly structured text, and contains a list of references and recommended reading.
A teaching text or script is defined as a document of an educational nature that presents a systematic body and interpretation of knowledge. As a rule, it temporarily replaces a university textbook. The target group is a defined group of students. It complements textbooks and is necessary for the quality and effectiveness of educational activities.

The subject is an individual stay at a foreign institution focused on solving a specific and well-defined research task. Before starting the mobility, the student will draw up a research stay plan, which generally includes:
• the state of research to date within the framework of her/his doctoral research;
• a definition of the research task and the aim of the stay in relation to doctoral research;
• the rationale for choosing the foreign institution;
• specific activities planned to achieve the aim of the stay;
• timetable for the stay;
• a description of any planned consultations;
• expected outcomes of the research stay.
The student's research stay plan shall be approved by the supervisor. Upon return from mobility, the student shall provide certificate from the host foreign institution. Depending on the predefined requirements she/he shall also provide confirmation from consultants. The student shall then draw up a mobility report and make a presentation at the supervising department on the course and results of the stay. The report and the presentation also serve as a basis for evaluating the course.
The student has improved in planning, organization, and implementation of research, as well as in formulating its sub-objectives. He/she is better oriented in institutions whose professional activities are related to the subject of his/her research within the framework of doctoral studies, and is building a network of contacts in the corresponding field of research.
