On the 31st of May, the EGSH hosted an online session called “Challenges for Supervisors” in collaboration with the EGSH PhD Council. This collaboration is part of an ongoing project to create a comprehensive document that can provide guidance and norms for supervisors and PhD candidates throughout the PhD trajectory. The session focused on discussing the "Golden Rules of Supervision," a document originally established at Leiden University, which the EGSH PhD council would like to adapt for dissemination at the EUR.
