For ILPS group members and projects, I&#8217;m using this general set-up of standing meetings:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>Standing weekly meetings with PhD students, 45 minutes<\/li>\n<li>Standing weekly meetings with the postdocs, 30 minutes<\/li>\n<li>Standing bi-weekly or even monthly meetings for smaller projects, 30 minutes<\/li>\n<li>Standing weekly research meeting on Fridays led by one of the senior people in the team, 30 minutes; fill out the twiki page prior to the meeting and bring your research high light or low light to the meeting<\/li>\n<li>Weekly group lunch provided by me (and PestoPresto)<\/li>\n<li>Weekly reading groups organized by PhD students<\/li>\n<li>Thirty minute &#8220;soos&#8221; talks by all group members on a regular basis<\/li>\n<li>Various meetups, including Search Engines Amsterdam meetups, Amsterdam Data Science meetups, ICAI meetups<\/li>\n<li>Monthly project meetings for larger projects<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I only supervise two MSc students at a time and only on technical topics, where the aim is to make an algorithmic contribution.<\/p>\n<p>Simple things to help make life easier and more effective for everyone involved:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>At the agreed upon time show up and enter my office, whether I am in a meeting, on the phone, or not<\/li>\n<li>Bring an agenda for the meeting; the first thing to do during the meeting is to tell me what your agenda is; if you don&#8217;t have an agenda, the meeting is over<\/li>\n<li>Supervision is two-way traffic. It&#8217;s collaboration. To facilitate this, set up a wiki in which you keep a record of your research activities, document reading activities, theoretical advances, experimental work and results, etc. Make sure that I can read and edit it, wherever I am. Include brief reports of our meetings on your wiki, with action items made explicit.<\/li>\n<li>There are plenty of smart people around you in the ILPS group, in the Informatics Institute, and in the bigger Amsterdam area. Use their brains!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the face of increasing work loads, new projects starting and new group members arriving, I need to hold on to a fairly strict schedule.
