Widening Training @Wroclaw

This 3-day in-person training focuses on helping supervisors navigate PhD and young researchers in their academic journey, with the guiding question: how to help young researchers develop their research skills and how to handle the whole PhD research process. 

What you’ll gain

• Strategies for onboarding new PhD students — setting clear expectations, co-creating individual development plans, and establishing productive supervisory relationships from day one.
• Techniques for giving constructive feedback — on drafts, presentations, and research progress, while promoting autonomy and critical thinking.
• Insights into career development mentoring — helping researchers identify transferable skills, explore diverse career pathways (academic and non-academic), and build professional networks.
• Peer exchange across Unite! universities — sharing best practices, discussing common supervisory dilemmas, and building a community of practice among experienced and emerging mentors.

Format : 3-day in-person training, combining presentations, interactive workshops, a study visit, and networking moments.
