One way of getting involved in the Doctoral School is to become a PhD representative, who are elected every second year by the Doctoral School's doctoral candidates. They are an important part of the Doctoral School's community. Together with the Head of School and the spokespersons of the research clusters, they form the Executive Board of the Doctoral School and are involved in all major decision. They meet with the coordinator to discuss how to improve the curriculum and connections between faculty and doctoral students.
