Why is it important for me to complete a Training & Supervision Plan (TSP)?
The Training & Supervision Plan (TSP) is an important tool for you and your supervisors to plan and monitor your progress throughout your PhD trajectory. It clearly states who your supervisors are and includes important information such as annual goals to be achieved and planned courses/training. The TSP is an integral part of your annual appraisal discussions with your supervisor(s) and should be updated on a yearly basis.
Since March 2016, It has been compulsory for all PhD candidates with a fixed employment contract from RadboudUMC to draft a TSP in consultation with the (daily) supervisor(s), click for the Radboudumc training regulation. Please take note that your TSP must be uploaded in PhD track within the first 3 months after your start date.
Are there any consequences if I do not upload my TSP within the first three months?
Yes, there are. For thesis defenses from 2018 onwards, the promotional bonus awarded to the department of the first promotor is dependent on having an approved TSP, uploaded in PhD track within the first 3 months of the PhD trajectory.
If uploading your TSP within 3 months is a problem for you, please contact Ellen Lommerse a.s.a.p., clearly stating the reason of delay before this deadline. Missing signatures of supervisors due to their absence is not considered to be a valid reason.
Where can I find the most current TSP template?
In the PhD track application in the ‘documents’ section. Use your personal PhD track account.
Do I need to update my TSP every year?
Your TSP should be updated whenever there are important changes – and please check before your annual appraisal whether the contents of your TSP are still up to date.

When should I complete the wrap up form?
The wrap up form should be completed at the end of your PhD trajectory just before the submission of your thesis to the manuscript committee or immediately upon premature termination of your project.
I have decided to stop my PhD trajectory. Who should I inform at Donders?
Please mail Ellen Lommerse and the Donders Graduate School Coordinator and include the date you officially stop(ped) as well as stating the reason why.
