The CoP on Supervision aims to:  

• connect academics and researchers with a supervisory role to share experience;
• promote a peer coach intervision for the mutual exchange and reflection of supervision practices, challenges in the supervisory role and support needs
• support the development and implementation of training on responsible supervision at the VU and Amsterdam UMC.

The CoP on Supervision will promote periodic meetings with academics and researchers in a supervisory role at the VU and Amsterdam UMC, to:

• share experiences in the supervision of master students and PhD candidates;
• create a safe space for the mutual exchange of the challenges faced in the supervisory role and support needs (peer coach intervision method);
• develop and implement training on responsible supervision at the VU and Amsterdam UMC;
• establish a network of trainers to train academics and researchers in a supervisory role (Train-the-Trainer).
