Effective Supervision of PhD candidates (with actor) 3. Finishing the PhD project
Course schedule
This course is not scheduled yet.
Course description
Third one-day workshop out of a sequence of three workshops for supervisors of PhD candidates. Supervisors can follow each one-day workshop separately. The training is strongly recommended as element of Tenure Track.
Wageningen Graduate Schools (WGS) offers three separate one-day workshops called “Effective Supervision of PhD candidates” (part I, II and III), which can be followed individually or in sequence. Each separate day is rewarded with a certificate for completing part I, II or III. Dr. E. Cocheret de la Morinière and co-workers are all academics with extensive experience in training and coaching supervisors and PhD students. They are specialists in scientific management and conversation skills. ElroyCOM is acknowledged by the CRKBO as an official educational institute.
The workshops aim to help you to become a more effective supervisor of PhD candidates and save time. Only 10% of PhD students finish within four years. The key factors causing delays can easily be circumvented, provided you invest in the start-up, clear agreements, managing planning, effective coaching and making timely management decisions.

Programme
Part III: Finishing the PhD project (12 May or 16 November 2021)
Make sure the project ends, with quality work and little delay! The goal of the PhD project is contributing to science, educating the PhD candidate, and his/her timely graduation. This phase need not be stressful to supervisors and PhD candidates. Wrapping up the project demands a timely and sharp look at the end criteria (contents of the thesis, publications, etc.) and following formal procedures. It also takes communicating with all project partners involved (e.g. manuscript committee, promotor, partners, industry, etc.) and coaching the writing process. We briefly devote attention to supervising the PhD student to the “afterlife”: do you want them to stay as post-docs, or how can you help them to a next job? We practice situations with a professional training actor that helps you lead the PhD candidate and the project to successful completion.
