High-quality supervision is key to successful doctoral training. The IRTG-BrainVasc therefore requires all principal investigators to complete a mandatory Train-the-Supervisor Program (TSP) before supervising doctoral candidates.

Developed in collaboration with the MMRS and the LMU Graduate Center, this program equips supervisors with essential skills in effective supervision, mentoring, and doctoral program requirements. The training is renewed every three years and complemented by experience-exchange workshops and mentoring courses, fostering a supportive, transparent, and high-quality research environment for doctoral candidates.
