Supervisors

Supervisors


The supervisors involved in the project all have at least 10 years' experience in supervising international Doctoral candidates and coordinating doctoral programmes and include Doctorate program coordinators. They collectively bring excellence to all areas of the project and the scientific expertise to successfully guide all ESRs. They will comply with the European Charter for Researchersvii on supervision and managerial duties, in particular devoting particular attention with highest professional standards to their multi-faceted role as supervisors, career advisors, leaders, project coordinators, managers, building up a constructive and positive relationship with the ESR.

The candidates will be followed by two supervisors from different institutions jointly guiding the ESR, one from each scientific field concerning their interdisciplinary project (Computer Science, Law, Ethics) and by an industrial mentor. They will communicate at every 3 month to make a joint assessment of the ESR. A local tutor will be assigned by the Board from an institution where the candidate has secondments but no supervisor. Meetings with the two supervisors will be frequent (typically weekly) and independent from geographic locations (via use of teleconferencing systems). The supervisors will assist the ESR with the Personal Career Development Plan (PCDP): to outline a clear structure, including tasks and responsibilities, to help anchor the ESR in the “home institution”, to facilitate mobility, and to enhance the professional careers of recruited ESRs. The PCDP will be set up according to European Commission standards, in collaboration between the fellow and the supervisors and will be updated every 6 months.

Exposure to academic and non-academic sectors consists in the following:

  1. Two academic supervisors from different areas and universities and an industrial mentor will be assigned by the Board.
  2. All projects have been designed based on overlapping expertise in at least 4 participating partners complementary sectors and in different nations.
  3. ESRs will spend 1/3 of the total time in two of the other partners of the network;
  4. Industrial internship is obligatory in the last year.
  5. Exposure to the non-academic sector is made possible also through annual network events.
