Additional information

For this project, the primary focus of the supervision will be on the time period where the student is in Denmark and with emphasis on the supervisor agreement and expectations between supervisor (me) and the PhD student. He only has short time in Denmark and will be performing difficult analyses, so time is sparse. We will need to have a structured plan for our collaboration based on our expectations.
