At the TU Dresden, excellent work is already being done by our supervisors of doctoral candidates as shown every year by the numerous and striking laudations for the GA Supervisor Award.

To support supervisors in this vital task and to further promote the dialogue on new approaches to supervision, the Graduate Academy has been offering workshops on the topic of “Good Doctoral Supervision” since 2016. The next workshop is coming up in January 2022.

The workshop is aimed at professors of TU Dresden and TUD Young Investigators of all disciplines who are responsible for or aspire to supervise doctoral candidates.
