Digital Tools and Information Systems at VŠE
During your doctoral studies, you will use several information systems and online tools for your studies, communication, teaching, research activities and administration. You do not need to master all of them right from the start. However, we recommend becoming familiar with their basic purpose and how they are used.
| System | What it is used for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| InSIS | Managing your ISP, university directory, room reservations, administration of your studies and teaching | Everything in one place |
| Moodle | Teaching support, study materials, assignment submission and communication within courses | Used in selected doctoral courses |
| Microsoft 365 | Email, Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint, online collaboration and document sharing, Copilot | VŠE’s main communication and working environment* |
| Science and Research SharePoint | Research news, invitations to events, updates and an overview of research projects | A newsletter with the latest updates is sent directly to your email once a month |
| VŠE Internal education | Registration for workshops and training courses | |
