The supervisory relationship is essential for enabling the researcher development; however, in some cases, building this relationship may develop into a challenge. We will explore how both students and supervisors can contribute to nurture and sustain this relationship. We’ll look at how reflecting about the relationship with our supervisors -by recognizing challenges and achievements- is key to enhance the doctoral experience.
