HDR Supervisor Induction Workshop

All new academic staff who wish to be involved in supervising research students are required to attend the HDR Supervisor Induction Workshop. The Induction Workshop is normally offered twice a year, in the first few weeks of each semester. While the regular workshop for this semester has already been held (on August 7th and August 9th) the RED team is happy to schedule a repeat session, if there is sufficient demand.

So if you would be interested in attending a Supervisor Induction Workshop later this semester, please let us know by email to researchereducation@adelaide.edu.au or by phone to x36035.

Information on the Effective Supervision Program can be found on our website via: http://www.adelaide.edu.au/graduatecentre/rep/staff/

HDR Postgraduate Coordinator Workshop

From time to time the Researcher Education and Development unit facilitates workshops for HDR Postgraduate Coordinators. These workshops serve a range a needs, eg: to help new PGCs come to grips with the range of policy, admin requirements and practical challenges; to provide a forum for PGCs to share expertise and insights; to provide feedback directly to the Dean of Graduate Studies on pertinent issues.

One PGC workshop has already been held this year. The RED team is happy to convene another one later this semester, if there is sufficient demand.

If you would be interested in participating in an HDR Postgraduate Coordinator Workshop later this semester, please let us know by email to researchereducation@adelaide.edu.au or by phone to x36035.
