Coffee Morningsare engaging, collegial sessions designed for doctoral supervisors, offering an excellent opportunity to conclude the week with a cup of coffee while listening to inspiring and practical advice from experienced specialists in the field.
Each session focuses on a current topic, providing valuable guidance for organizing and improving everyday supervision practices. Participants will also have the opportunity to ask questions and receive direct answers from experts. The online meetings are held on Friday mornings at least twice per semester, allowing supervisors to join from wherever they are.
The masterclasses are designed for all doctoral supervisors who want to acquire practical techniques and new methods for delivering high-quality, professional supervision. They also offer an opportunity to exchange experiences with colleagues from other Estonian universities. During the masterclasses, we will discuss how to clearly align expectations and roles, conduct effective supervision meetings, provide feedback that supports the writing process, encourage doctoral candidates’ independence while keeping them on the right track, and much more.
Doctoral supervision masterclasses can be offered either as daytime online seminars or more in-depth, in-person workshops. The schedule of masterclasses is diverse, and the teaching style is interactive. The events are suitable both for those who already have experience supervising doctoral candidates and for those who have only recently started.
