• Theme 1 ‘Doctoral supervision at Loughborough University’: Everyone
  • Theme 2 ‘Recruitment and selection’: Katryna (seeking Doctoral College Registry input this week)
  • Theme 3 ‘Thriving researcher culture and environment’: Laura, Alun De Winter, Victoria (NB: It might be worth reconnecting with content from ‘Fundamentals of PhD Supervision’, ‘Building Effective Supervisory Relationships’, and ‘Getting the Most Out of Doctoral Supervision’ before the meeting to see if any existing content can be repurposed.)
  • Theme 4 ‘Mechanics of doctoral supervision’ Sarah B and  Caroline – Your experiences as doctoral researchers and the DR sessions you led on will be really helpful for this theme.
  • Theme 5 ‘Enhancing and development of practice’: Sammy and Sarah T – This theme is all about CDP, and it might be that the some of the PGCert content can be recontextualized with a doctoral supervisory lens.

An Introduction to public engagement and the contribution it makes to the work of the university sector.
