2018/09 - 2019/11 As PhD representatives, the other 4 members and I, represented 77 doctoral researchers from the four departments. We organized seminars, scientific talks and workshops to support PhD students in their training, as well as social activities to promote interaction. Furthermore, we met with the directors once a month in order to be updated about new decisions and relevant events and to give them feedback in case our PhD community had any issues or concerns that they would like to see addressed.
