Making Supervission work for you
Purpose: To learn practical tools for proactively managing your supervisors and to share experiences with peers on navigating the supervisory process
Format: The workshop is hands-on based, and it includes lectures, exercises, and plenum discussions.
Are you in the beginning of your PhD (first year) and do you want to learn practical tools for how to make the best out of your supervision? Then this workshop is for you! Research shows that successful PhD students display the ability to benefit from the strengths of their individual supervisors and use it to their advantage. In this workshop, you will learn practical tools to:
• Contribute to building a good work relationship
• Navigate between several supervisors (main and co-supervisors)
• Communicate with your supervisors in a professional way
• Get the feedback you need to progress efficiently
Regardless of whether you find it easy to work with your supervisor(s) or not, the workshop is relevant because it offers concrete tips and tricks for proactively managing your supervisors.
Is it worth spending three hours on this workshop? Yes, because:
• Research shows that the relationship between PhD students and supervisors greatly influences the efficiency and creativity of the PhD study. Therefore, it is crucial for students to navigate the supervisory process
• The workshop is a means of making your PhD study more efficient, and therefore the workshop is not an extra time-consuming event
• It offers a room for sharing experiences and for getting inspiration from peers.
