Supervisor Networking & Support Program (Starting early 2026)

About

Supervisor Networking & Support is a national monthly forum for supervisors involved in eating disorder research. The stream creates space for sharing experiences, discussing challenges, and strengthening research leadership across disciplines and institutions.
Sessions run for one hour during Semesters 1 and 2 (eight meetings per year) and may feature invited experts, postdoctoral contributors, or cross-disciplinary panels. Sessions are designed to support supervisors while enhancing the overall student research experience.

Each discipline stream follows the same structure and schedule, with discussion, examples, and speakers tailored to the field. Participants are asked to nominate their discipline when registering.
