General information
A TSP is the training and supervision plan that is mandatory for PhD candidates starting their PhD track.
Every Graduate School / Faculty has their own TSP format. These formats can be found at www.ru.nl/horafinita; for the English versions www. ru.nl/english/horafinita. If your TSP has not yet been submitted, an orange warning message will appear at the top of your dashboard.
Email reminder
Three months after your PhD-track has started, you will receive a reminder email informing you of the upcoming checkpoint (CP1/OBP1) deadline and any actions you are required to take with regard to this checkpoint.
