Supervisor Workshop

Forum for PhD supervisors

Course Description

Building on our Supervisor Workshop with Beate Scholz, this one-day forum offers a space for supervisors to reconnect, exchange experiences, and discuss current challenges in supervising PhD students.

Based on participant feedback, the peer-to-peer exchange was one of the most valued aspects of the original workshop. This follow-up session focuses on open discussion, moderated reflection, and sharing practical approaches to supervision.
