Supervision in Focus: "From experience to Good Practice"

Two parallel sessions: one for doctoral students and one for those who supervise students. Coaches are Yasmin Dolak-Struss and Gerald Lind.

Yasmin Dolak-Struss is a trainer and systemic coach specialising in the professional development of researchers. With a background in technical physics and a PhD in mathematics, she has worked both in academia and in a major research funding organisation before founding her own consultancy. Today, she supports researchers and research leaders in developing productive working relationships, strengthening their skill set and shaping successful, meaningful careers.

As Deputy Head of the Research Careers Campus (University of Graz), Gerald Lind develops institutional strategies to support the personal and academic development of researchers across disciplines. His work aims to foster an inclusive research culture that enables equitable development opportunities for researchers at different career stages.
