Workshop: Supervising Doctoral Researchers

The workshop supports doctoral supervisors in developing and reflecting the necessary knowledge, understanding and skills to guide a diverse group of doctoral researchers to successful and timely completion. It explores the changing roles and responsibilities over the doctoral life cycle and provides hands-on tools and recommendations to establish and maintain a positive working relationship – not only with doctoral candidates but also masters’ students and postdocs.

• Build working relationships with both candidates and co-supervisors
