Supervising for Success: Supporting Graduate Students in Research
Graduate student supervision plays a critical role in research excellence, student development and research funding success. This workshop brings together representatives from the Faculty of Graduate Studies and researchers across the University to discuss practical approaches to supervising and training graduate students within research projects. Presenters will highlight the Graduate Supervision Support Hub, share how student training is embedded in research practice and grant proposals and discuss how DEDI considerations can be meaningfully integrated into supervision. The session will also situate graduate supervision within broader federal priorities around attracting and retaining research talent.
