Higher Degree Research (HDR) Supervision Development Workshops are a core component of the ANU HDR Supervision Development Framework.

There are two series of ANU-wide workshops:

1. Foundations of HDR Supervision Workshops are directed at those new to supervision, but all HDR supervisors are welcome. Participation in a Foundations of HDR Supervision Workshop is a required component of supervisor registration for those new to supervision. Please visit the Foundations of HDR Supervision Workshops webpage to register for one of these workshops;
2. a second series of workshops address a range of topics relevant to good practice HDR supervision, and include masterclass panels. In 2019, these workshops addressed topics that included: HDR supervisors’ and students’ mental health; Helping HDR students write; Managing difficult conversations; and Supervision in an intercultural context. A comparable program will be offered in 2020. Details about the 2020 program will be provided on this webpage shortly.

There’s no cost for the workshops, and participation will count as a qualifying activity for registration renewal under the ANU HDR Supervision Framework.

The ANU-wide workshops complement activities organised by Colleges, Schools and Centres.
