The professional training of supervisors is considered a requirement for successful doctoral education. NeurotechEU partners are offered the possibility for their current and future Ph.D. supervisors to interact with a panel of experts for a series of short training sessions. Different aspects of the supervision of doctoral students will be addressed in interactive online sessions on a weekly basis.
The objective of this training program is to support and inspire Ph.D. supervisors in the development of teaching and leadership skills, and in promoting the use of best practices in the development of their Ph.D. students.
All faculty members within the NeurotechEU universities and associated partners currently supervising Ph.D. students or that aim to become supervisors are welcome to participate. Sessions will be held online, in English, and you can participate in as many sessions as you like.
Learning Outcomes:
At the end of the program the participant will have understood how their role as Ph.D. supervisor develops over time, understand the responsibilities of a Ph.D. supervisor both legally, practically, and morally, and will have learned best practices regarding ethics, conflict prevention, feedback, and communication as a Ph.D. supervisor.
