PhD Supervision Training 2024
Background
This PhD supervision training is initiated by the Ethiopian SuperStars project. The Ethiopian Superstars is an international training program that involves 7 Ethiopian universities (Addis Ababa University, Ambo University, Arba Minch University, Bahir Dar University, Hawassa University, Jimma University and Mekelle University). The project is coordinated by Jimma University and Ghent University, is financially supported by VLIR-UOS (www.vliruos.be) and runs from September 2023 to August 2026.
The overall vison of Ethiopian SuperStars project is strengthening the advisory and coaching skills of academic staff at Ethiopian higher education institutions. To realize this, Ethiopian SuperStars works towards the following four milestones:
Milestone 1: Train 210 academic staff on PhD supervision (30 at each university)
Milestone 2: Customize the training to an Ethiopian context
Milestone 3: Facilitate integration of training in Ethiopian universities
As part of milestone 1, we are offering a PhD supervision training to the academic staff of the participating universities. Eight days training will be provided by Ethiopian trainers that have been certified by Impetus Academy (www.impetus.academy).

The 8-days training consists of a blended learning trajectory of
