Progress report
All PhD candidates and main supervisors in doctoral education are obliged to report on the progress of the PhD candidate and the research project and the training component.
During the agreement period, the PhD candidate and main supervisor are to submit annual separate written reports describing the progress of the candidate's PhD education. The reports must be submitted to and approved by the Faculty or by other units to which the Faculty has delegated this responsibility.
The Faculty, supervisor(s) and the PhD candidate are required to actively follow up on issues that may entail a risk of delay or of failure to complete the PhD education, so as to ensure as far as possible that the education is completed within the nominal period of study.
The PhD candidate and supervisor have equal responsibility for submitting the required reports. A lack of, or inadequate progress reports, may lead to enforced termination of the PhD education before the end of the agreement period. Supervisors who fail to comply with their reporting duty may be relieved of their supervisory duties
The progress report is conducted through a survey based tool where all main supervisors and PhD candidates receive an e-mail with a link to their own personal form where they can fill out the report and submit it through the internet.
FINAL DATE FOR SUBMITTING PROGRESS REPORTS IS 1. NOVEMBER
