Communicating in Academia: Strengthening Collaboration with your Supervisor

A successful doctorate relies on clear communication and mutual understanding — especially in structured academic settings. You will explore how to navigate your role with clarity and confidence, communicate effectively with your supervisor, and actively contribute to a productive and supportive working relationship.

Through practical tools, self-reflection, and real-life examples, you’ll gain insights into how to prepare for important conversations, express your needs, set healthy boundaries, and engage in open, respectful dialogue — even when things get complex.

Please note that having your camera on is required for participation in this workshop. This helps us create a respectful, engaging, and safe space for everyone. Thank you for your cooperation. This workshop can be attended by itself or together with "Collaborating Across Cultures: Intercultural Communication in the PhD Journey", which takes place on the same day, in the afternoon.
