EUTOPIA Trainings on Doctoral Supervision | Register now!

There is a significant demand in modern universities to create a course for helping academics to develop competences to supervise PhD students. As part of the EUTOPIA European University Alliance, a special PhD Supervisor Training course will once again be offered from October to December 2025 for interested supervisors from all partner universities.

The professional development of supervisors is considered a requirement for successful doctoral education. EUTOPIA partners are offered the possibility for their current and future PhD supervisors to interact with a panel of experts for a series of short training sessions. Different aspects of the supervision of doctoral students will be addressed in twelve interactive online sessions on a weekly basis.

Target audience:

• Supervisors of doctoral candidates and future supervisors

Learning Outcomes: 

At the end of the program the participant will learn and understand:

• How their role as a PhD supervisor develops over time 
• The responsibilities of a PhD supervisor both legally, practically, and morally 
• Best practices regarding ethics, conflict prevention, feedback, and communication
