Mentoring well – the key to successful student supervision.

A mentoring support workshop for PhD supervisors

Aim:To help team leaders and/or doctoral supervisors to improve their role as mentors and in consequence to improve the quality of the scientific work in their teams.
Provider: Oriol Ramis
For:Senior staff with responsibility for mentoring PhD students

Good mentoring can be the key to scientific success, while poor mentoring can destroy a team. Mentoring students well is therefore crucial. But it is a complex role that must combine career advice and skills training with being a role model. Despite its importance, little time is spent developing this skill. This course aims to fill this gap.
Contents:

Four types of methodology will be adopted:
i) review of key concepts (leadership, task, authority, motivation, change, transformation, learning, resistance etc)
ii) case analysis and sharing of experience of course participants as it evolves through the year
iii) study of the group itself as case study of a supervising relationship
iv) evaluation space to appreciate change
