LOCATION TBC IN 2026

This session seeks to help research supervisors support postgraduate researchers (PGRs) beyond their research by addressing the hidden curriculum and encouraging reflective practice. Emphasis is placed on maintaining healthy boundaries and fostering inclusivity, both of which are essential for supporting supervisor wellbeing and preventing burnout. Participants will explore common challenges and best practices through peer-led, reflective practices, and case studies drawn from real-life supervisory experiences. Participants are also introduced to an adaptable development planning template, allowing supervisors to co-create inclusive, structured plans tailored to each candidate's journey.

We are running this workshop as part of the Next Generation Research SuperVision Project (RSVP) as a practitioner partner. Participants will be asked to provide their feedback on the session afterwards to help improve this activity ahead of it being rolled out across Higher Education Institutions. Participant Information Sheets will be provided with more information once you have booked this event.
