Questions for discussion

-How can e-supervision best be implemented on institutional level at higher education institutions in Europe? Which actors have to be involved in the development of a strategy and institutional programme for e-supervision? How can these contribute to guarantee quality and recognition of e-supervision?-Are supervisors and supervisees able – in terms of skills and competences – to enroll with e-supervision? What skills and capacities do they need and which kind of training has to be put in place?

Thanks for your attention!
