Subject: 'Defining the golden rules of supervision'
“Supervising a PhD project is a challenging task. Next to monitoring the quality of research and the progress of a PhD project, supervisors also need to safeguard conditions that enable PhD candidates to excel and stay healthy, happy and motivated. In this session, we will discuss a number of “golden rules” that help ensure that the conditions for a successful PhD project are in place. These rules can be seen as a set of best practices with regard to the communication between supervisors and their PhD candidates and the organisation and planning of a PhD project. In the meeting, supervisors will be asked to give feedback on a first draft with golden rules that is prepared by the EGSH PhD council.”

Working method
The conversations are part of the efforts of the Graduate School - our Training the Trainer innovations - to bring supervisors together more regularly, around issues of common interest or concern.
Previous themes included 'inclusivity and diversity' and 'organising writing sessions for
your phD candidates'.
We warmly invite suggestions for future episodes!
