Conversation topics at the webinar
In this webinar, we’ll talk about how to develop a good relationship with your supervisor, what characterizes a good working environment and the importance of being part of a research environment. We’ll also look at the best ways to maintain a good work-life balance when you feel stressed from a heavy workload or pressure to perform.
Our panel will consist of researchers from a range of academic fields and with different experiences supervising PhD candidates. They’ll talk about the issues that might come up during the first year of your PhD, including how to get off to a good start with your supervisor and the importance of your work and research environment. We’ll also talk about networking and internationalization, but also what to do if your research project doesn’t succeed, or if your relationship with your supervisor doesn’t work out well.
