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.

May 8th- Electronic research documentation at KI: Supporting your doctoral student with ELN
Lunch seminar at Zoom on the 8th May, 11.30 – 12.30
The host will be Neysarí Arana; ELN coordinator, from the Office of Research Support and External Relations at KI.
It is compulsory for all researchers at KI to document their research electronically in an approved system and that is KI-ELN, an electronic notebook.
As a doctoral supervisor you will need to ensure that your doctoral student is also doing this and in the right way.
This seminar will give you tips how you can help your doctoral student (and yourself) in using ELN appropriately and to suit your type of research. It is also an opportunity to ask Neysarí questions about ELN and share your insights with other doctoral supervisors.
