Supervisor Peer Mentoring Circles: information session
Duration 0.5 days
Team Researcher Academy

This information session introduces Supervisor Peer Mentoring Circles for research supervisors. It outlines the broader context of why mentoring is a crucial aspect of professional development in research supervision and explains how peer mentoring circles work in practice. Participants will learn about the structure of the circles, what to expect from participating, and the practical steps required to join or set up a circle.

By the end of the session, research supervisors will understand:

● What supervisor peer mentoring circles are and how they differ from traditional 1:1 mentoring
● The key benefits of participating in a mentoring circle for their own practice and career development
● The expectations for participation, facilitation, and shared responsibility within a circle
● How to register interest and join the programme

Who is it for? All colleagues engaged in formal and informal doctoral supervision. In addition to members of formal supervisory teams, assistant, co- and informal supervisors including postdoctoral and research staff, technicians and professional services. 

This session is part of the RSVP project, which aims to transform the culture and practice of research supervision across the UK. RSVP is a £4.6M Research England project, involving over 50 research organisations from the UK and beyond. The project has the backing of most major UK research funders and was extensively referenced in UKRI's recent New deal for postgraduate research. By participating in this session and providing feedback, your views can influence our national programme of supervisor development.
