Masterclass for PhD supervisors - How to touch on a problem: To signal, to communicate and to refer
As a supervisor you are in a perfect position to notice (personal) issues of your PhD candidates that might influence the PhD-trajectory. This might even worry you. During a series of masterclasses offered by the PhD psychologist of Utrecht University, we will offer you a way of managing a conversation about possible (personal) issues with your PhD candidates. Your daily practice experiences will be used.
