Help to resolve conflicts between you and your supervisor

The collaboration between you and your supervisor(s) usually takes place in a good manner without any notable conflicts, but occasionally there may be a need for professional help to resolve a dispute. Maybe the communication has gone wrong or different values block the possibility of a fruitful collaboration. 

In some of these cases, the Graduate School can offer PhD students and their supervisor(s) a mediation process with an experienced impartial consultant. 

The consultant will through dialogue encourage the participants to negotiate and find sustainable solutions. Each individual mediation is prepared thoroughly, and it is a necessity for mediation that the parties participate voluntarily. 

If you want to find out more about the different possibilities, you are always welcome to contact the Graduate school.
