-**CSC students**\\
-Please click on the following link for more information:  __CSC-Leiden University Scholarship__
-**Education and Supervision Plan (ESP)**\\
-When starting a PhD appointment, the supervisor needs to draw up an Education and Supervision Plan which forms a part of the University Result and Development cycle and serves as a guideline for the yearly evaluations (see PBC). The ESP outlines the targets that the PhD student will have to meet in the areas of research and education and arranges the necessity for supervision and training. The plan also lists both the short and long-term goals that are essential for making progress in the PhD research. Please contact your supervisor for more information.
-**Admission Graduate School of Science**\\
-The Graduate School Office manages the administrative process of the PhD program. All PhD students need to register with the Graduate School of Science within 3 months after start of contract via __LUCRIS__ – the digital system for the registration of all formal steps regarding admission, progress, and graduation during the PhD track. For information about admission procedures, please check the website of the __Graduate School__: (071) 527 6855 or __gsoffice@science.leidenuniv.nl__
-**Annual Performance & Development review PhDs**\\
-Once a year, a small committee of staff members – the "Promotie Begeleidings Commissie" (PBC committee) – will discuss research progress with all PhD students and their supervisors.
--	**Evaluation 1st year PhD’s: 6 month presentation**
-As summarized in the ESP, a ‘go or no-go’ evaluation will be held after ~6 months after the start of the appointment, to access whether or not the appointment is to be continued. The PhD student will present to a small committee an outline of his/her PhD project (30 minutes). This committee consists of the Chair of the PBC, the PhD supervisor, and at least one scientific staff member. The committee will discuss these plans with the student and will provide feedback (annual report). Both the annual report and the presentation slides need to be submitted by the supervisor in the Self Service, together with a Results & Development form.
--	**Annual evaluation other PhD’s**
-The PBC committee evaluates the progress of each PhD student once a year. Each PhD student should submit an annual progress report, at the latest two days before the interview. For the progress report a template is available which will be mailed to you. The completed form must be sent to Susan Verhoeven (verhoeven@strw.leidenuniv.nl) at least two working days prior to the interview.
-During the interview the PBC committee will first discuss progress with the PhD student (20 minutes), without the presence of the supervisor(s), and will then speak with the supervisor(s), without the presence of the PhD student. The PBC will provide feedback in the form of an annual report. Both the progress report and the annual PBC report need to be submitted by the supervisor in the Self Service together with a R&D form.

-**Training, courses for PhD students**\\
-Leiden Observatory offers several trainings and courses for PhD students:
--	**Observatory Introduction program for 1st year PhD’s**
-Each year the Observatory organizes a three day introductory event for all first year PhD students. Usually this event will be held in November. On the first day the program  provides the PhD’s with an introduction to the Observatory (staff, research, education, social life) and to “living in The Netherlands”. The other two days are dedicated to training and courses: PhD challenges, Scientific conduct, Effective Communication and Time management. A follow up for the last two courses will be held a couple of weeks later. Contact: Marjan Balkestein,  __balkestein@strw.leidenuniv.nl__
--	**NOVA fall school**
-The NOVA Fall school is meant to broaden the knowledge of astronomy graduate students. The courses usually correspond to specialized topics that may have been missing in undergraduate studies. All PhD’s must participate in the NOVA Fall school at least once. Participation in two schools is sometimes recommended. The school is offered annually at the ASTRON premises in Dwingeloo, during 5 days in the Fall. Please check the NOVA school website for more information.
