International PhD student peer supervision

International PhD candidates from Australia, UK, Germany, and Norway are joining forces!

The first peer supervision meeting for the HOMESIDE International PhD group took place on Wednesday 18th of March. The aim of the group is to support and empower each other through online peer supervision, with the opportunity to present ongoing work to the group, giving and receiving feedback and sharing literature, resources and experiences.

In the first meeting, the six PhD candidates met through video conference, with literature reviews as the main topic on the agenda. Naturally, the situation of COVID19, which currently affects the work and lives of all candidates, was another important topic in this meeting.

The group decided on further monthly meetings, and we are looking forward to the next one in April!
