Supervision & Work-Life Balance: Your Voice Matters!

As every year, YoungEAAP is organising a session at the EAAP annual meeting, this year in Innsbruck. This year’s session is dedicated to the topic of supervision and work-life balance. And we need your help! 
We decided to address the topic of supervision since we believe for such a crucial part of a researcher’s carrier, it is not talked about enough. We have probably all experienced (or know someone) that experienced improper supervision, or on the other hand had a wonderful supervisor that really helped them jump off their carrier! That is why we are launching a survey, and we want to hear about everything – good and bad experiences with supervisors or types of supervision, lack of proper supervision, being left high and dry; but also about the good stuff, happy moments, and support you’ve received. We also want to hear how you, as a young scientist yourself, have approached supervising young colleagues – whether you’ve received any training, what are the struggles here etc. With this, we want to expose the problem of improper supervision but also offer some solutions and share approaches that work. The survey is anonymous – and feel free to share it with your colleagues and fellow young scientists. The results will be presented at our session in Innsbruck on the 27th of August 2025. Here the link to the survey! Lear more about the Young EAAP Club and follow us on LinkedIn!
