BIGS Neuroscience requires doctoral candidates to regularly convene with a Thesis Advisory Committee (TAC) to ensure ongoing feedback on the progress of their thesis projects. Candidates are expected to present a progress report to the committee at least three times throughout their doctoral studies, typically once per year.
How to carry out a TAC Meeting?
A TAC Meeting form has been developed to structure the discussion of the student’s research progress. In addition, this form provides a record of the student’s achievements to date and recommendations for future research. You can download the form as a Word-file. In our TAC Meeting guidelines you can find additional advice on how to prepare a TAC Meeting. Following the TAC Meeting, the completed and signed document has to be scanned and uploaded to the BIGS Neuroscience internal platform in the “Achievements” section.
