Seminars 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.
Information on this autumn's seminars will be published here shortly. If you would like to suggest a theme for a seminar in the spring send your suggestion to: maura.heverin@ki.se

Friday 11th December - Electronic research documentation at KI: Supporting your doctoral student with ELN
- Lunch seminar on Zoom, kl 12.00 -13.00
With Neysarí Arana
It is compulsory for all researchers at KI to document their research electronically in an approved system and the system your student should be familiar with is KI-ELN, the electronic notebook.
As a doctoral supervisor you will need to ensure that your doctoral student is using ELN and in the right way.
In this seminar Neysarí (ELN coordinator, from the Office of Research Support and External Relations at KI) 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.
