Seminar for doctoral supervisors

The role of doctoral supervisor involves exchanging experiences with colleagues. The thematic seminars provide KI supervisors with a forum for competence development and regular opportunities to meet colleagues in a similar situation.

These seminars allow participants to discuss matters and exchange experiences relating to their supervisory role and to keep themselves updated on the latest news connected to doctoral education. The seminar programme varies; sometimes we invite speakers to share their own experiences as supervisors, or experts to hold talks on particular issues. The aims are to help participants understand their own position as supervisors and to inspire and encourage them to find their own ways of dealing with the challenges that the role brings.

November 21st - Having the talk with your PhD student - "What's your plan for when the PhD is finished?”

Lunch seminar at Zoom on 21st November 11.30 – 12.30

Welcome to a lunch seminar at 11.30-12.30 at Zoom "What's your plan for when the PhD is finished?"

The host will be Raquel Tavares and Francesca del Gaudio from Career Services at KI.

A PhD supervisor is required to have annual follow-up meetings with their student. In the second half of their studies, a point of discussion should be career planning. 

While the PhD supervisor may feel comfortable discussing this point if the student is intending to follow a similar career path as the supervisor, the supervisor may feel unsure if the student is considering other alternatives. This seminar will enlighten  the supervisor about Career Services Support and what kind to services they provide, for example the doctoral course, internship possibilities, career tools and more.
