Riktlinjer för betygsnämndens sammansättningo See
http://www.lith.liu.se/forskarutbildning/fun/policydokument/1.245390/Betygsnamnd_2011.pdf • Betygsnämnd: Conflict of interest – jäv: Related, working group, co-writer, not former supervisor
Master’s courses (recommendations)o PhD students should not register for Master’s courses
o Students should instead agree with course leaders that they can follow courses without being registered
o Results should be reported directly in Forskar-Ladok
PhD programs will be evaluated by HSV

Follow-up action plan NDI
1. Recruitmento Introduction process being reviewed at the moment
o Expectations of students and supervisors still needs to be discussed
o Most important – expectations – to be formalized
2. Supervisiono The need for planned meeting was discussed with
supervisors and at follow-up meetings
o The fact that some students feel that they get too little supervision was discussed with supervisors

Follow-up action plan NDI
3. Environment and postgraduate studieso Workload was discussed with supervisors and at
follow-up meetings
o Students were informed about Feelgood and Studenthälsan
o Students were informed about the guidance services of the university library
o Only five or six participants. Very good information, everyone should go there! Bengt Ove will organize a new presentation.
4. Courses and seminarso The need of and the possibilities for organizing
advanced courses and seminars were discussed with heads of divisions and supervisors
o Encourage more participation in summer schools, conferences, self study etc.

Follow-up action plan NDI
5. Scientific conferences and networkso The need for a recommendation for participation in a
certain number of conferences during the time of study together with the heads of the divisions and the supervisors
o Participation in conferences was discussed in connection with revision of study plans
o The recommendation will probably be part of the subjects’ new study plans

Follow-up action plan NDI
6. Educationo The department’s introductory pedagogical course still
needs to be evaluated
o At least one course meeting for every course, where PhD students are involved, should have been organized
o Course meetings to be followed up. The director of studies/examinator is responsible but they need to know that it is important – to be formalized
7. Equal opportunitieso Students have been informed about policies
concerning equal opportunities
o Students have been informed about routines concerning discrimination and sexual harassment
