Doctoral Researchers Council (DRC)

The DRC represents all doctoral researchers in the GSLS

The DRC

voices interests of doctoral researchers and stands up for them
represents the PhD students in the boards and meetings of the GSLS
networks and communicates between doctoral researchers and PIs
informs doctoral researchers about the GSLS
organizes events for the PhD students
mediates conflicts between doctoral researchers and PIs or GSLS

The DRC has five members, two or three of which are newly elected by all GSLS doctoral researchers every year. In this way, continuity of the DRC's work is secured and experience is handed over from one generation of doctoral researchers to the next. The current DRC was elected in April 2012.
