3) We are convinced that additional opportunities should be created for group leaders at the Assistant Professor level to build their teams and take on supervisory responsibilities.
(6/7)
2) We are convinced that those who acquire funding for their own projects and/or hold sufficient supervision experience and carry the primary daily supervision responsibilities should also be able to act as promotor #iedereenprofessor.
(5/7)
We would like to add three points to the discussion that are key in our eyes:
1) We would like to discuss the different roles and the division of labor within a supervisory team and how all supervisors can obtain fair recognition for their work.
(4/7)
As Assistant Professors we recognize the challenges and we are committed to providing high-quality supervision for all PhD candidates and believe it is crucial for academia that PhDs can rely on high-quality supervision, allowing them to develop and grow, while providing structured guidance. (3/7)
De Jonge Academie has identified ‘Profkippen’ as one of the sources for limited supervision quality. APNet shares De Jonge Akademie’s concerns about the quality of doctoral supervision and the uneven distribution of resources, which have become increasingly urgent issues in Dutch academia. (2/7)
We are happy that The Young Academy has made the quality of PhD supervision a priority topic for this year. We are very excited to engage with them in the discussion about their #Profkip initiative. www.dejongeakademie.nl/publicaties/...

This is one of the points we are also bringing into the discussions e.g. about the talent scheme at NWO, if and for which things it is still suitable. One question is, of course, what measure would be better to replace it.
