Date and time

Place
AF Borgen, Sandgatan 2, Lund (https://goo.gl/maps/bCj8eCTMX4cwXw1s5)
Target group
Doctoral student supervisors
Objective
The objective of this one-day workshop is to show and discuss various stress management and academic productivity tools, in order to understand and improve the relation between you as supervisor and your doctoral students. The workshop is aimed for both new and experienced supervisors. The tools presented will be discussed from a supervision point of view.
Themes
- What is stress, and how can you discover early signals of negative stress, in yourself and in your doctoral students?
- What is the origin of stress in the academic environment – for the supervisor and for the doctoral student?
- What tools can you use to increase the academic productivity of your doctoral students, as well as yourself?
Tools
We offer tools which will help both supervisors and doctoral students to shift from negative to positive stress. Participants will also be able to test academic productivity tools that many doctoral students have used in order to finish their theses in time. Here, the focus lies on how you as supervisor can support the doctoral students in the work process, or with the “how”. We also discuss the relation between the supervisor and the doctoral student with respect to what kind of support doctoral students often wish for, how you can manage expectations and improve your communication.
