University-wide Research Supervisor Community of Practice (CoP)

The CoP is a Microsoft Teams page and corresponding Sharepoint site where supervisors can connect, ask questions, and share best practices. It includes a resource library of supervision tools as well as academic literature on supervision and will also provide a central space to inform supervisors of upcoming relevant events, workshops, resources, or news relevant to supervisory practice at the University of Edinburgh and Beyond.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this CoP for?

The CoP is for any PGR supervisor at the University of Edinburgh, though it is also open to Postgraduate Taught supervisors who are supervising dissertation projects. We welcome and encourage supervisors from any and all disciplinary fields to join as interdisciplinary/cross-disciplinary practice and resource sharing is also encouraged.

Is this a requirement of me as a supervisor?

No, joining the community of practice is not a requirement, but we hope will be a useful resource to you in your practice.
