Young scientists often work as acting supervisor for Master or PhD projects. This requires leadership skills that are rarely taught in grad school. In this session an overview is provided on how to design projects, how the supervisor-student relationship could be seen and managed and how to evaluate finished projects. We are lucky to have two experienced scientists with long-standing experience of supervising Master's and PhD projects share their thoughts and ideas on these topics.
