Supervision of doctoral theses: At the moment, I supervise multiple doctoral theses and cannot take new supervisees except when I know the candidate's research from before (for example by having supervised the candidate's master's thesis) or the candidate has an established publication record related to the proposed doctoral thesis theme in a language I can read (Finnish, Swedish, English, German – exceptionally French).
