The training will combine virtual components with a five-day physical mobility at Uppsala University. It is part of the BUP Supervisor Collegium initiative, which aims to bring together colleagues who supervise PhD and Master’s students. Through meetings, workshops, and lectures, the Collegium strengthens supervisory competence and fosters sustainable international collaboration.
The BUP Supervisor Training Week 2027 will be coordinated and hosted by Uppsala University and organised in collaboration with the University of Latvia, VSB-Technical University of Ostrava, and Brandenburg Medical School (MHB).
The training week is intended for:
- doctoral supervisors,

During the training week, there will be lectures and workshops focusing on the following themes:
- Inclusion and diversity
- Pedagogics

- Ethical issues in scientific authorship
- Situational Leadership
There is no participation fee, and up to 30 participants will be chosen to attend. All participants will receive a certificate stating completion of the training and the number of working hours (40 h).
The application deadline is 30 November 2026, 23:59 (CET).
