A Go/NoGo interview is an interview in which the PhD candidate will be assessed on elements related to the performance as a PhD candidate. The interview has to take place within 15 months after the PhD candidate has started with the PhD project. After the interview, a member of the supervision team fills out a Go/NoGo form. After submission of the form, the first supervisor needs to approve the result of the Go/NoGo, followed by the chair holder.

Please note:

• A positive result (Go) cannot be submitted in case requirements have not yet been fulfilled or a required TSP has not yet been approved;
• If a PhD candidate is employed at Wageningen University, the interview is called Go/NoGo RA instead of Go/NoGo;
• If a definite date has not yet been decided, those involved will receive a reminder email to schedule the interview.

A new interview (Follow up Go/NoGo) will be automatically created after the Go/NoGo decision. The PhD candidate will receive an email asking them to fill in the ‘Acknowledgment of receipt Go/NoGo form’. With this form, the PhD candidate informs the graduate school whether they agree or disagree with the decision taken.
