Supervisor of the Year Award
Every year the GSLS PhD council organises the PhD Supervisor of the Year (SOY) award ceremony.
Supervision is one of the key factors influencing the course of your PhD journey. PhD surveys indicate that a professional relationship between PhD candidates and supervisors is pivotal for a successful PhD journey. Within the GSLS we aim to provide support for both the PhD candidate and the supervisors to help them in building a good and professional relationship. A good and frequent communication, management of expectations and giving and receiving feedback are crucial components of this relationship. Because supervision is such an important component, the GSLS PhD Council organises the PhD Supervisor of the Year (SOY) award ceremony.
Once a year, you receive the invitation to nominate your (co-)promotors. You can describe why you believe your (co-)promotor is an outstanding scientist, a role model, very approachable, enthusiastic, or just great in any other way. By nominating, you not only show appreciation for their support, but also help inspire other supervisors to guide PhD candidates in the best possible way. We cannot wait to hear your stories! You can access the nomination form via the link below. The deadline for submissions is 5 June!
Also save the date for the Award Ceremony on 29 October, 16:00-18:00, Café Madame Jeannette, USP!
