Survey on problematic situations

DION is interested in your experiences with your supervisors and potential conflicts. This survey is anonymous and aims to gather information about problems and/or conflicts in supervisor relationships between you and your PhD supervisor(s). This is your opportunity to talk about your experiences and give us an opportunity to take it further. This is an important topic for all temporary scientific staff and we hope you will spend 5 minutes to help us gather information about this topic. The idea is that we will present the data in a report, which will help us build a case to push for more supervision related training etc.
