Have you ever thought that you could get more from your research supervisor? Or, if you are a supervisor, have you ever felt that your relationship with your students could be more productive?
In this ASME Bitesize session, we aim to facilitate conversations between participants and a panel of research supervisors and research students. The panel will talk briefly about their experiences and then we will facilitate a conversation between the panel and you, the participants. We want to hear your experiences and your questions. The panel will not have all the answers but we aim that we all will become more aware of the pitfalls in these relationships, how to navigate them and some tips which will help us all get the most for our mentoring relationships.
