The topic of the 10th UNICA PhD Master Class is "Supervision revisited: Supervisors - PhD Candidates - Wellbeing, creating a balanced triangle".
The Master Class is organized in cooperation with PRIDE - Association for Professionals in Doctoral Education and is hosted by the University of Zagreb, CAAS, in Dubrovnik.

After 10 years tackling different issues in Doctoral Education, this year's Master Class is revisiting Supervision, the very first topic which started it all back in 2009. Motivation lies in the fact that, although Supervision is still a core dimension, the context and the concerns have changed. Nowadays a kind of imbalance in the system is observed and could threaten the wellbeing of supervisors and candidates.
These are some of the questions the Master Class will address:
Having this questions in mind, the objectives are the following:
The Master Class will start with a very special guest: Croatian award-winning director Rajko Grlic! He will give a personal introduction to the storyline and concept of his critically acclaimed movie The Constitution, which will then be screened at the CAAS courtyard.
