You will be required to select a supervisor (Betreuer) and mentor.  Throughout your PhD, you will have annual meetings with your supervisor and mentor, where you will discuss your project progress.  These meetings need documentation via the provided forms.

• Betreuer/ supervisor: this will be Prof. Dr. Lena Daumann. 
• Mentor: this is a professor from HHU of your choice. There are possibilities to assign external mentors, though this needs further approval. Requirements for any external mentors are: professor/ habilitated leader of a research group, affiliated with a university or institute. The university tends to prefer in-house mentors. The main purpose of your mentor though is to be a middleman between you and the main supervisor, should conflicts arise. They don't need to be involved in your research. 
  
• Secondary supervisor: an optional choice. This name will just appear on paper, there are no additional responsibilities to this task.
