NEW in 2022 - IUA Research Supervisor Support & Development Programme

The IUA offers, as part of researcher support and development, a Collaborative Webinar Series from December 2021 to May 2022 to support research supervisors. See full listing below. 

The Webinars are targeted at new inexperienced research supervisors and more experienced staff who would like to refresh their knowledge on aspects of research supervisory practice. These collaborative webinars address common research supervisory practices and challenges that are not institute specific. Panel discussions with experienced research supervisors, experts in the field, professional staff and students, will take place across this interactive programme.

NUI Galway HR Learning and Development team will be informed of your participation at each Webinar, to record your engagement with development opportunities.
