Survey to collect best practice examples on supervision in MSCA

Published on | 1 year ago

Programmes MSCA MSCA

The European Commission is looking for success stories and inspirational examples of supervision practice across the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) community, to prepare an evidence-based guidance document that will support the existing MSCA guidelines on supervision.

The European Commission has published a survey to gather the examples and stories on the following key themes addressed in the guidelines:

  • Defining supervision
  • Acknowledgement of and support for individual diversity
  • Managing individual supervisor-supervisee relationships (specifically communication and aligning expectations)
  • The benefits and challenges of team supervision (multiple supervisors working together and taking on different roles)
  • Facilitating collective supervision (having cohorts of supervisees together)
  • Institutional support structures (including administration, recognition of supervision quality, community creation etc)
  • Training effective supervisors and supervisees

The survey is targeted to researchers and research support personnel who have been involved in MSCA projects. This includes doctoral and postdoctoral fellows, academic and non-academic supervisors, mentors, coaches, administrative and technical staff.

The deadline to share the experience or best practice example is 2 September 2024.

PBNv2 - a MSCA ITN in the field of automotive R&D

The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action (MSCA) European Innovative Training Network “PBNv2 - Next generation Pass-By Noise approaches for new powertrain vehicles” started in May 2017. Their research has the shared objective of investigating the possibilities to decrease pass-by noise of vehicles.

The project is a collaboration between 17 research institutions and companies in the European automotive R&D and provides a learning environment for 14 PhD fellows. The Belgian partner is the Noise and Vibration Research Group of KU Leuven, and this project is one of the many Horizon 2020 MSCA Innovative Training Networks that the KU Leuven research group participates in.
