Last Thursday, the second edition of our ZEUSS workshop, “MSCA Supervision: Inspire, Guide, Empower,” took place at the University of Leipzig. The workshop was led by our EU Funding Advisors Juliana Rodrigues Kozovits and Ekaterina Schacht. Organizational support was provided by Janina Preuß, EU Funding Advisor at the University of Leipzig.
A big thank you goes out to Dr. Julian Benedict Kuttig (Leipzig Research Centre Global Dynamics), who shared his experiences as an MSCA Fellow, and Prof. Dr. Julia Sacher (University of Leipzig), who provided insights into her experiences as a senior supervisor. Many thanks to you both for taking the time to share your perspectives during the workshop!
We also want to thank all workshop participants for taking part and for the insightful discussions.
We hope that we have been able to answer many questions regarding the responsibilities of a senior supervisor within the context of the MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship Call and that the information provided will serve as a useful source of inspiration.
