Moderated by Dr Maria Cerrato, lecturer at the university's faculty of Education Sciences, Dr Josep Clotet, professor; Dr José Maria Martínez and Dr Rosalía Rodríguez, both tenured lecturers, all participated in the session which was attended by thirty-two thesis directors. 

Cerrato proposed five points for discussion that drove the session:  follow-up and guidance; qualities and obligations of a good supervisor; first meetings; time management and conflict management during the process. 

The session is organised within the framework of the three fundamental objectives of the Doctoral School: guarantee the quality and excellence of doctoral theses; ensure the integral education of the doctoral student and the transmission of a vision of research in accordance with Christian humanism.
