The committee
The doctoral student representatives are represented with two voting seats on the Advisory Board of the Graduate Center and two people take part in the jury meetings for doctoral funding. It counsels the coordinating management of the Graduate Center and invites doctoral candidates to a plenary meeting at least once a semester. Two representatives and two deputies are elected by the doctoral candidates every two years.
The presentation of the first elected doctoral student representatives took place at the 2021 New Year's Reception, after which elections were held again in January 2023. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the previous doctoral student representatives once again for their commitment.
The last new election took place in January 2025. The newly elected doctoral student representatives are now Robert Kremer, Kathrin Breitenbach, Benjamin Bracke and Sairah Bostanci.
