Dear supervisors and PhD students,<br>
<br>
the department board decided yesterday that I should share the
status regarding individual study plans (ISP) and the status
regarding licentiate seminars with all of you.<br>
<br>
In the attached document you will find a table with this information
for all PhD students with some activity during 2015. Note that this
is based on the information that I had on December 17th. If you note
some mistakes here, please inform me.<br>
<br>
Let me try to explain the content:<br>
<br>
In column 5, "months of full-time PhD studies", you find the
effective number of study months from the starting date. Teaching is
accounted for. However, e.g. sick-leaves are not taken into account
here. As you know, a complete PhD in Sweden corresponds to 4 years
or 48 months of full-time studies.<br>
<br>
In column 6, the status of licentiate seminars is given. The
licentiate seminar is used as the 50% check of the PhD studies, i.e.
it should be done at around two years of full-time studies. "LATE"
means that two years have passed since the start, without a
licentiate seminar.<br>
<br>
In column 7 and 8, the ISP status is given. A "LATE" in column 8
means that one year has passed since the latest ISP was done, or
that 3 months have passed since the starting date.<br>
<br>
<u>Actions to be taken</u><br>
<br>
Lic-seminars: For students with a "LATE" mark I would like the
corresponding supervisor to explain the situation to me (via email
is OK as a start). <br>
<br>
ISP: With a "LATE" mark, hopefully the ISP is well under way. If not
- as a supervisor you have to start with it now. Note that according
to the regulations it has to be updated every 12 months and its
update is a prerequisite for a prolonged employment. Note also that
some ISPs will pass the deadline very soon.<br>
<br>
Best regards<br>
