Research consistently shows that good supervision is crucial for a successful and timely PhD trajectory. VUmc Academie together with Mennen Training & Consultancy developed a two-day course that meets the needs of senior PhD supervisors.
In a peer group of experienced researchers and guided by an experienced trainer, the following topics are addressed: 1) the PhD trajectory; 2) optimal alignment with your PhD candidates; 3) your identity as a senior supervisor.
After this course, you will be able to: - better manage the PhD candidates’ expectations and facilitate timely and successful PhD projects; - better align with your PhD candidates to unlock their potential, both as a scientific and a non-scientific mentor; optimize your strengths as a senior supervisor; - effectively share challenges in senior supervision of PhD candidates with peers.
Quotes from participants: 'Highly recommended' 'Relevant and to the point' 'This course increases awareness of the supervision process and communication' 'Contact with peer supervisors is inspiring'
