All new academics to UCD are required to undertake a Research Supervisor Induction Session.
The RSSD programme of workshops, is targeted at new inexperienced research supervisors and more experienced staff who would like to refresh their knowledge on aspects of research supervisory practice. In 2022, the original RSSDp collaboration (UCD, TCD, RCSI) is growing, to include online webinars from a number of IUA colleagues (DCU, MU, NUIG, UCC, UL). These collaborative webinars address common research supervisory practices and challenges, that are not institute specific. Panel discussions with experienced research supervisors, experts in the field, professional staff and students, will take place across this interactive programme.
The 2022 RSSDp will commence on Friday December 10th at 2pm with a webinar on Successfully Supervising Research Students Remotely by Prof. Bob Harris, Karolinska Institute.
Please note: UCD supervisors who wish to receive a certificate of participation in research supervisory practice, should attend 5 UCD workshops and 2 of the IUA collaborative webinars. To obtain certification for the programme, it is required to attend workshops taking place within the same calendar year.
