| - | After the first year the PBC evaluates the progress of each PhD student once a year, based on a written progress report submitted by each candidate. The progress report must be written using a template which will be supplied by email. It is expected that this report be discussed with the supervisors prior to submitting it. The completed form must be uploaded in the database https://jobs.strw.leidenuniv.nl/2025/pbc at least two working days prior to the interview. During the interview the PBC will first discuss progress with the PhD student (20 minutes), without the presence of the supervisors, and will then speak with the supervisors, without the presence of the PhD student. The PBC will provide feedback in the form of a report, which will be sent to the candidate and the supervisors. This report may contain recommendations concerning the project, which must be discussed by the PhD student and the supervisors. The PBC report needs to be saved in the personnel file. | + | After the first year the PBC evaluates the progress of each PhD student once a year, based on a **written progress report submitted by each candidate**.
