31:T98e,## 02 - The Past - 90 mins - @JD A panel in which experiences of supervision are introduced and discussed. > **The Past** > Hear from those with PhDs, learn from their experiences of study and supervision and grill them with your questions in a structured fire-side chat with the old hands, including plenty of audience participation! _Jason Dykes_ to recruit 4 PhD graduates (DIVERSE, well-known, potentially entertaining) from the VIS community to give a **7x7** structured talk - *7-minutes, 7-slides* - and then participate in open discussion: #### Part 1 - Presentation 1. who was your favourite teacher - and why? - what do you wish you had known at the start of your PhD? - which paper or book would you recommend a PhD student read - and why? - what is the best piece of advice you were given that helped you complete your PhD? - what is the biggest mistake you made during your PhD - and what is the learning point? - what is the biggest mistake you have made when supervising a PhD - and what is the learning point? - what is the best piece of advice you can give a current PhD student to help them complete their PhD? 30 mins talks, 20 mins discussion, hosted by _Jason Dykes_. #### Part 2 - Open discussion Questions from the audience and discussion around these. Questions and discussion points from the morning activity will be seeded here. #### Ideas ... Possible panelists (JD to recruit) need to have some experience, be good communicators, and DIVERSE in terms of academic discipline and geography. We might want to focus on one or two of the big labs? ... - **[Michael Sedlmair](https://visvar.github.io/members/michael_sedlmair.html)** (keynote) - PhD Munich (2010) - **[Vidya Setlur](https://www.vidyasetlur.com/)** (keynote) - PhD NorthWestern (2005) - **Alex Lex** - **Petra Isenberg** | **Pierre Dragicevic** - **Evan Peck** « I'd like to invite him along - thoughtful - **Wesley Willett** « Likely to be in Bordeaux - **Wolfgang Aigner** - **Benjamin Bach** « Coordinated the Vis Education paper - **Charles Perin** « May still be in France - **Narges** - **Michelle Borkin** 32:T76c,## 03 - The Future - 90 mins - @JD & @MB > **The Future** > Find out about DIVERSE-CDT, the UK's Doctoral Training Centre for Diversity in Data Visualization, and develop our collective thinking on the future of PhD education. #### Part 1 - The Funding - 40 mins * a short introduction to [**DIVERSE-CDT**](https://diverse-cdt.ac.uk/) the _EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Diversity in Data Visualization_ hosted at the _University of Warwick_ and _City St George's, University of London_. - **(ph)oundations**
_Jo Wood_ and _Greg McInerny_ present the programme and rationale; - **re(ph)lection**
_Cagatay Turkay_ and _Steph Wilson_ reflect on learnings achieved so far; - **(ph)ireside chat**
_Jason Dykes_ and _Cagatay Turkay_ (and others?) participate in a semi-open, semi-structured discussion facilitated by star chat show host _Bob Laramee_ (some questions to be circulated in advance, hire a nice sofa); #### Part 2 - The Thinking - 40 mins A call to action and brainstorming exercise in which we work collectively to answer 3 questions: 1. **_what are the skills required by a PhD student at the end of year 1 of their studies?_**
_and do these differ by DataVis PhD 'type'?_
_and how do we support them?_
_how can the EuroVIS community work together to support European VIS PhD students?_ - **_what makes a good PhD internship?_**
_what can we learn from existing approaches, experiences?_
_how can we support students, and intern providers during PhD internships?_
_how can we encourage more organizations to provide meaningful internships through which visualization research can be conducted?_ - **_how can we give PhD students opportunities to publish and learn about the publications process by participating in it?_** **JD/MB/CT** to coordinate - we may need three groups, and lots of PostIts. 33:[] 2f:{"title":"EuroVIS 2026 - PhD Education Track","cells":[{"id":0,"value":"# EuroVIS 2026 - PhD Education Track","pinned":false,"hidden":false,"mode":"md"},{"id":46,"value":"### Proposal - December 2025 » January 2026\n\nThe \"quotes\" are intended to be the things that we can use to propose / advertise / recruit.\n\n---","pinned":false,"hidden":false,"mode":"md"},{"id":55,"value":"### Aims\n\nThe point of this activity is to ...\n\n> **A Focus on PhD Education in Data Visualization to ...**\n> share experiences of and approaches to PhD education in ways that **support current PhD students**, **encourage future PhD students** and **inspire those supervising PhDs** and coordinating PhD programmes to develop networks, approaches and discourse that support this activity.\n\nIt needs to work for all three groups :\n1. prospective students\n1. current students\n1. academics (supervisors - current and future!).
