Information from the organisers

The participants of the event will be supported in selecting doctoral candidates according to suitable criteria and then successfully supervising them.

• Criteria for the selection of doctoral candidates
• Doctorate as a learning process to be accompanied
• Understanding the roles and expectations of supervisors and doctoral candidates
• Communication as a central element of doctoral supervision

In addition, there is room for specific questions and concerns from participants.
