Workshop - Communications & how to convince your supervisor

Good communication in your research project is of vital importance, even more important is good communication with your supervisor. In this workshop we will emphasize on what you, as a PhD, can do to maintain a good relationship with your supervisor. Subjects that come up are; assertiveness, awareness of interpersonal dynamics, giving and receiving feedback and mutual expectations from supervisor and PhD.
