Annually (within 1 November) the main supervisor must submit a progress report

The purpose is to keep informed on the progress in the candidate's work and assess this in relation to the project description's progress plan. The candidate and main supervisor shall review the plan for the project, and assess the need for adjustments. Significant changes should be approved by the faculty.

Related to progress, you are also expected to give advice and follow up on academic conditions that may incur delayed completion of the PhD education, so that it can be completed within the standard time

You should contribute to regular contact.

IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG

A lack of, or inadequate progress reports, may lead to enforced termination of the PhD education before the end of the agreement period. Supervisors who fail to comply with this duty may be relieved of their supervisory duties.
