How to do P&D interviews with PhD candidates As of January 2026, there is a new P&D form specifically for PhD candidates that facilitates the sequence of conversations with the supervisors. This provides an opportunity for WGS and HR to jointly organize a supervisor workshop on the P&D meeting. This workshop supports supervisors in approaching P&D meetings as open, constructive conversations. We will explore how to give and receive feedback, and share practical tips to make P&D meaningful for both PhD candidates and supervisors. Programme of the workshop:
