The supervision of doctoral students is often poorly regulated and formalized. Frequently, there is uncertainty about responsibilities, unspoken expectations are not met, and roles are mixed. This often leads to dissatisfaction and frustration for both doctoral students and supervisors.
Successful doctoral supervision therefore requires a clear structure and formalization of processes and responsibilities, but at the same time it must be flexible enough to take into account the individual requirements and competencies of the doctoral candidates as well as the challenges of the respective research processes.
